Abstract
“ There's been a touch of fuss in the media about it, which is the first reason we thought that we ought to tell you about it; the second reason is that it has an engagingly curious name: NetWeird. (No, I don't know why, either.)
NetWeird is interesting primarily because it is uninteresting. It's not very well written; it's not very well tested; it's probably not going to catch you unawares (but watch out if you're in a band!); and so far as we can tell, it's not in the wild.
