M-m-meaning! Let's define, is it 'meaning' or 'Meaning', or if there's any at all...

Again, as before current poll embodies mark 12_30 idea, in itself born in Canonicity Wars (post #579)

'Plain entertainment' entry is my own contribution. Following Fordim's Slapdown Poll's last entry (the book is cool), I suppose there may be such interpretations too.

So, kindly share your views
