I googled it and found this:

How nice to have a bright, curious person online.

The word eupsychian (pronounced "you-sigh-key-un&quot was coined by Abe Maslow. It comes from eu meaning good (i.e. euphoria) and psyche meaning, basically, mind or soul. So eupsychian essentially means "having a good mind/soul" or "toward a good mind/soul." Eupsychia is where nice people live and work ( and is a WWW growth nidus ).


It was nice to have such a pleasant greeting on a webpage!

Now I remember, I used to know what eupsychian meant.
Haven't heard the term in a long time.

Thank you!
