I think I understand where BMW is coming from, and I tend to agree with him.  I know you don't like nitpickery but perhaps the better word to use is "robotic", adjective, as opposed to "robot", noun.  It may seem nitpickey, but really, there are two different meanings there. 

And meaning is everything when it comes to comunication.
One by one, we break the sheep from their Iron Bar Prisons and expand their imaginations, make them think for themselves. In turn, they break more from their prisons. Eventually, critical mass is reached. Our key word: Resolve. Evangelize with compassion and determination. And realize that there will be few in the beginning. We are hand picking our successors. They are the future of Discordianism. Let us guide our future with intelligence.

So does this mean you can have communication without meaning? 

And yes, I have heard the term "meaningless conversation" before but let's be honest, what that really means is that it was a conversation in which one participant had no interest.  There is still meaning conveyed, just not a meaning that one participant finds relevant or important to them.  In any case what would an example of meaningless communication be? 
Cynicism is a blank check for failure.

At least 3/4 of the shit I come away with, I would imagine.

To play the social angle, communication IS meaning, always, even if you don't mean anything.

Felix has the right answer here.

Sorry folks, but every utterance you utter, every meaningless glance you give off...has meaning.  The linguist in me will have it no other way...

Isn't there a lot of room for interpretation, though?


I mean, you can shrug, and think you're saying, "my bad".

But someone can interpret it as you saying, "go fuck yourself".

Meaning is inexorably separate from interpretation.  Symantic is an oft-useful refinement of expression, but I find it cumbersome.

Worth a shot. 

Like I was saying though, everything we do down to body language has an interpretive value.  Nothing is nothing, in human interaction.

In fact, it seems body language and tone outweigh content.  Which makes the web fascinating as it may be the first mass medium based on content alone.
