The best I've manage to come up with is 'Web is to Internet as car is to
road', the reasoning being that what people refer to as 'the Web' is the
result of data travelling over the 'Net between two machines.

You mean why some do and some don't?  I have some sympathy since it
was only a year or so ago I found out why :-)
