I was flattered to see my definition of vaporware made it to G&K FAQ but disappointed to see VapourWear didn't. Nor VW40. Nor Q or q [Eudoracoin cybercurrency]. Nor GSRS [Graviton Spin Reversal System]. Nor Anita [TM].

Mq,

I submitted your VW def to the FAQster because there had been a question about what the term meant. Your explanation was excellent, and should have been the only one used. As a prominent G&Ker, however, DownSouth has friends in high places and clearly profited from a bit of old-boy-network favoritism. Don't take it amiss. As for your other definitions, those could be a bit idiosyncratic for general distribution, but why don't you try restating them so inquiring minds can see?
