I always thought it was because it is shaped like one.

Vice versa: tee is from T. T-shirts are called that because their
shape looks, vaguely, like a T -- at least that's my understanding.

Methinks that's unfair. He is just a thirsty quester for knowledge
and has found that usenet is an inexhaustible fount.

But he does seem to be taking this stream of living water to excess; or
perhaps 'tis we?

Oh, no. Most of the time I just laze on the banks but
now and then I take a sip, or piddle just downstream.

that...

The innuendos are coming thick and fast! I think I'll withdraw.
