Someone (Jim D.?) offered what I thought was a pretty good
definition of the difference between these two terms some
months back. You could check the archives, or maybe he would
be willing to post it again. I believe his post was intended
only as an explanation of how the terms are used in the
states, as I understand Europeans may have slightly differing
views. But you'd have to ask him that. We certainly have
enough folks on this list from around the world capable of
addressing this question from differing viewpoints.
