Secondly,
editor, I thought I entered a news keyword as 'hubdub' but it doesn't seem so, if you would please edit that.
Best regards,
Skipper

Skipper, this is another self-referential question.

See "Hubdub Rules" <http://www.hubdub.com/public/goodquestion>

22.3.5 Hubdub Category

* Self-referential questions like “Will this question get on the homepage?” or “Will this question get H$100,000 in predictions?” are not allowed and will be voided

truthwrangler, I thought that was repealed, and TBH I think it should be, why are self-referential questions not allowed? If this question can be settled (which it can be) I see no reason to not allow it.

<why are self-referential questions not allowed?>

Skipper, it's a Hubdub rule ... you could ask them about it (directly) at <http://getsatisfaction.com/hubdub>.
