Return to Question

Perhaps related to the question of improving answered question statistics, what does one do about a question that doesn't have an answer? I.e. it isn't possible within SharePoint?

Example - I asked a question about formatting a DateTime column as a date only in the BCS external entity picker. I've received some useful information - but nothing that actually answers my question. I'm now fairly convinced that there is no elegant solution for this.

It's a fair question, so I'm loathe to just delete it. Will closing it 'answer' it, and is that an appropriate action?

(I don't like leaving it hanging)
