>Part of the confusion over the NET Bible is its name. NET means New English Translation [And is not an acronym for Internet Bible. Although the translators may have see the double-entendre.]

here is what the preface says:
"What is the significance of the NET Bible?s name?
A name was chosen that would reflect our goals to provide the Bible to the electronic Internet audience as well as to readers of printed Bibles. Users of the Internet can relate to the NET Bible as an obvious name, plus the phrase ?New English Translation? fits well with the acronym NET."
