Na, Pat. I was after the preposition, really, that didn't make it over to this site. I saw the point in omitting the apostrophe and wanted to know whether the prepositional non-pointedness was of equal concern to Molly. I can live with the answer.
As for the point to life - this is the meaning that each and every individual can assign to what he/she/it understands life is. Therefore a highly subjective approach. Whereas the point IN living question is the potentially objective approach that includes rocks also. Never mind.
