What does WWM stand for?

Don't know if you'll see my answer given that your
post came from outside Usenet, but WWM

I was surprised to see that the times I checked, my post was at the
Homemoaners web site.

What I find very currious is why we always come in in the middle of
their threads. What determines if Usenet gets a copy or not? The
individual poster there. Rules of Homemoaners? The length? Use of
unusual words? I can only guess.

stands for:

"Welded Wire Mesh".

Think of a roll of chicken wire fencing.

Is WWM more simlar to hardware cloth, I think it's called? Thicker
than chicken wire, square pattern rather than hexagonal, fused at
corners rather than woven. Used by a lot of people in Chicago to cover
their back door windows so someone breaks the glass can't put his hand
in (at least 50 years ago it was!)

Different gauges and strengths, but that's
the general idea.
