Unfortunately, on the Internet or any other packet-switching network,
there is no clear cut obvious definition for "use" or for "resources".
Those things are defined by convention, i.e. by agreement, and those
definitions *ARE* subject to change.
It would be helpful if these things were more clearly defined in writing
so that newcomers can zip up the learning curve faster.
