MaxQ: You people are useless! I demand a refund! I STILL haven't received a definitive answer to the question

Do we have a word for this concept? In due honor, it should be named by, or for, MaxQ). Any nominees?

And now, off to another posting: I must MaxQuse myself elsewhere.

Qston, we have a problem!

Surely your own invention nearly captures the idea of an evasion of answer: an exQs

As for a refund, that's just a Quibble - offer him sick squid

If we must have a new word, how about remodelling "unrequited" to "unrequordled".

I like it, Dr. Bill. The Unrequordled Question, wasn't that a tone poem by Charles Ives?

Dear Helen: When Max is entitled to a replevin, he is requordled. When you are similarly defrauded, we need another new word. I challenge your admirers, or whom there are so many talented persons, to devise one suitable to apply to you.

Well, this has edged over into the realm of W & F, but for the nonce it's here.
When our Helen is cheated, she is detroyed, of course. And all restitution is retroyactive.
