    Oh man.

    My comment was intended to imply that the term “hacking” defies definition because it has been grossly overused and misconstrued over many decades.

    Sure you might be able to convey what it means to you but of course it means different things to everyone else, with each definition being equally appropriate.

    Er go, any discussion is one of semantics.

      You know my first instinct wast to reply with: “No.”

      Maybe I should have stuck with that. I had a feeling this would lead nowhere.
