KG,
Neither does Zen consist of stream of consciousness posts! The mind
should be focused before the mouth is opened or the mouse is clicked....
Not that I always do that myself!

I never said there wasn't 'meaning', I was simply referring it back
to its source - AKA Pointing to the nature of this. I realize you may
have trouble grasping the obvious, so slice and reshuffle it so you
can manage countless births and deaths generated by remaining
attached to your precious/meaningful beliefs. You are in good company
and can play this Zen is/isn't game all you like with Bill! - and all
the other sentient beings you know - for eight million kalpas if you
like.
Hell, If you keep believing you know what Zen is like a good Zennist,
maybe Pu Tai/Hotei will bring you presents on Buddha's birthday.
Why wait, here's one now. A classic:

Again, Zen is NOT Nihilism nor is it meaninglessness...
There is meaning, not necessarily in any one thing, but in the skein
