Dear caradea: Ask a polite question, and what do you get? You get proof nobody knows the answer, or is even interested. Present company excepted.

Dr Bill,

I posted a rhetoric site that supplies the answer, provides alternate spellings for antistoecon, and compares it to similar rhetorical devices.

What more would you like, my good sir?

I don't know the answer to her question, do you?

The question being (correct me if I'm wrong):

does anyone know anything about the word 'antistoecon'?

If that hasn't been answered to her (not to mention your) satisfaction, try this for an answer:

YES
