Imagine how you'd feel digging into somebody else's code, investigating some 
bug or other, to find that they'd overridden `#send`. Now see if you can get a 
handle on how you'd feel when realising that they'd used it for a different 
purpose than it was originally intended.

Hope that helps.

If you're still unsure, my initial thought as I started reading your email's 
subject was "jesus no!!!" ;-)

How about `#tell`?
