And the opposite at times as well. You are about as aimiable as Phil Allison, and less well-imformed. Incidentally, did you mean anything by "existential", or was it just a convenient long word? ex·is·ten·tial (Ä?g'zÄ-stÄ?n'shÉ?l, Ä?k'sÄ-) adj. 1) Of, relating to, or dealing with existence. 2) Based on experience; empirical. 3) Of or as conceived by existentialism or existentialists: an existential moment of choice. 4) Linguistics. Of or relating to a construction or part of a construction that indicates existence, as the words there is in the sentence There is a cat on the mat. None of these definitions attaches an obvious meaning to "existential niceness" - it seems to be pretty on a par with ""colourless green ideas sleep furiously" in the meaningless phrase stakes. -- Bill Sloman, Nijmegen
