   "When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in a rather scornful tone,
   "it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less."
   Lewis Carroll -- Through the Looking Glass, Chapter 6

When a word's already been defined, it's not useful
to use it to mean something else.

Spamming is a crime in the European Union and Australia.
It's legal in the US if you follow certain rules.

Posting off-topic on a mailing list may be annoying, but
it's not a crime, even in France.

The charter of this mailing list is "GP of Santa Clara County discussion."
I've never seen a need to narrow it down.
