I haven't thought of that in years. I gave up my crusade to revive use of the interrobang(‽) in writing a while ago.

After reviewing the materials I see that Cuil Theory has come a bit further since I last read. I believe that Goopt would be somewhere around -2‽ from Cuil theory itself, negative because it's literal reality, but distant because it's an abstract embodiment.

Slightly off-topic. During my cursory reading I see that imaginary Cuil got fleshed out. I'd like a second opinion. The way it reads to me is that 'i‽' is almost the literal definition of solipsism.
