DRAFT version ___ comments please

Conal, please, PLEASE, never, EVER again use the word "meaning" if you actually mean "denotation". It confuses the hell out of me, especially the (I guess unintended) connotation that you analyse the meaning of a particular instance's existence on a cosmic scale.

It shouldn't confuse you. Using "means" for "denotes", and likewise "meaning" for "denotation", is correct English, and very common usage too. -- Robin
