[ExI] The meaning of life? Let's solve this together, once and for all! ; )

[efc at swisscows.email]

Thank you very much Bill. It seems to me that they overall are built on 
the same structure, but that there are differences in the order and how 
you traverse the structures.

That said, I think overall, its a good starting point to get some kind of 
structure, and I do think that depending on the individual, different 
aspects will be emphasized.

Best regards,
Daniel
