   Seems the best single definition.  Problem is you won't find a single 
solid answer, because the term epoxy has been broadened by use to also 
include any thermosetting plastic adhesive, you'll see that definition 
in many other sources.  So the polyester resin isn't technically an 
epoxy but it's perfectly fine to call it an epoxy.  A bit ridiculous but 
hell that's English.  :)  It's either a technically accurate chemical 
term or a loose term, depending on use.
