Cars, buses, taxes, trains, and trams are all different, and are
customarily
used to meet different needs, but they are all passenger vehicles -
even
when they are not actually carrying passengers. Similarly, poisons
intended
to kill organisms for pest control purposes are all pesticides,
even though
the nature of the pests may be very different. And, fortunately, it
is not
mandatory to use a pesticide just because one encounters a 'pest'
:-)

Does that mean that a spam filter is a pesticide?

Actually no, since it only blocks the emissions of the pest. It does
not actually kill him. {:-))

How about us all deciding that we have all have our mileage out of
this one?
