Voided Sat 26th Apr 6:04pm CDT by diana: This is a tough call--your market question is really creative, but it's really the question posed in the background information that people should make predictions on. I think your question "Will Pamela succeed..." should be incorporated in the market question. I'm really sorry, but could you resubmit the market and make that edit? Thanks so much.
I don't see much differance...This market should be voided. A major news source is not going to report "Will Rock & Roll ever die."

And you think it will be settled in the next five days, by a major news source?
But I am quite jealous that HudDubBob got the "Best Comment" vote.
Rules are constantly changing. I was asked to rephrase my market when it was voided...I refused
Simply because I thought their "rule" was ridiculous. I love this market.
I'm simply making a point to the "Hubdub gods"
This reminds me of a story a friend of mine told me, he retired and decided to drive an ice cream truck. He was out driving his route and a gentlemen stopped him and asked if he would come down his street, the ice cream guy was delighted to expand his base, so gladly agreed. Each day he went two blocks out of his way to make sure to visit the street as promised, we each day the gentleman came out and bought an ice cream cone, they would spend a moment talking and all they ever talked about was how the old ice cream people never came down his street. Day after day, week after week, and month after month this new ice cream driver drove down that block and each day the gentleman came out bought an item and spent 5 minutes complaining about how it use to be. Finally the driver couldn't bear to hear about how bad things use to be, so he too quit going down that street, figuring he would rather not sell that one item, if it was going to cause him to be reminded of all the negative things in the past.
Maybe if the gentleman spent a minute discussing how great things are now he would still be eating goodies from the ice cream truck.
but if others point something out....Heaven forbid. All I'm looking for is
consistancy. I'm certainly not looking for a pompous ass to try to psychoanalyze
me. You warrant no further comment, destry.
Seems like both of you (erik and destry) want the same thing - for hubdub to make improvements where appropriate and for this to be a good experience for all.
So, who wants ice cream, while we wait to see if rock and roll dies or not?!
