         to send a message to a mailing list or

        indiscriminately to multiple users, in contrast to "mail"
        which implies one or more deliberately selected individual
        recipients.
     
        you should only post a message if you think it will be of
        interest to a significant proportion of the readers of the
        group or list, otherwise you should use private electronic
        mail instead.  see netiquette.
