I don't think redefining words in RL definitions works. (I think that the announcement on BlogNomic, for instance, was sufficiently public - after all, it even found its way to Agora pretty quickly - and that "public" in the natural English definition of announcement would use the natural English definition of public, not the Agoran definition.) -- ais523
