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.
