http://www.vanderkruijs.net/dev/userscripts/hubdub/marketresponses/doc/

Kruijs made a script (=kind of browser application) to automate TAGGING questions at Hubdub. So you can create Q's " in respond to" an existing Q.
It shows then on the right above tags the original Q and the Qs that are made in the following up of other Qmakers on the same subject, from other angles of inspiration.

The idea of dieseldog (and destry) of TAG-Qs (eg. Press Conference President Obama) has been automated by Kruijs who is an IT-engineer.

I created two test markets to see if I could get it work.
If I can do it....
At the moment Kruijs works at a minor flaw with the place of the Respond-button.
I hope it will catch on, and HD is happy with it.

I'm simply in shock a president admitted to being wrong. It's been a while since we've seen that in the White House. That said, it was a boneheaded statement on par with "Mission Accomplished". ;-)

My club, www.actionski.org, used to hold our summer meetings at De Anza Cove, facing your mobile home park, until alcohol was banned (we only ever did beer and wine). Now we go to Kate Sessions Park in PB-- great view. I don't swim here-- too cold. Spoiled by Carnival cruises to Mexico, and Vegas pools (just got back from Venetian and Mirage, frozen mojitos at 106 degrees).

Lived for 12 years right on the sand on Coast Blvd South near Pearl St in LJ. Owner finally sold the apartment building-- new owner converted it to condos and sold them for $$$ after a 5-year remodeling delay due to Coastal Commission issues. I've been in the UTC area for the last 10 years. Thought I would really miss the beach but, not so much. It's there when I need it. Although, it was great to sit at umbrella tables on our LJ deck, grill steaks and salmon, drink, watch the eye candy on the beach. Hmm now I do miss it ;)

I'm sorry the question got voided, I didn't even bet on the darn thing. But, I hope you read that I hold you high, I think you are a very nice man. And I say that especially because we can disagree and not get angry with each other. That takes a real man. Thank you.

"Settles as YES if she gets reported help.
Settles as NO if she doesn't or it is not reported."

Cici is RIGHT: this is BACKWARDS.

Can she take the mental pressure: Yes means that she can take the pressure and does NOT NEED HELP. No means that she can NOT take pressure and NEEDS MENTAL HELP.

At the moment, the settlement terms INDICATE EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE. CAN A SUPERUSER PLEASE SUSPEND THIS QUESTION UNTIL AN ADMIN CAN GET IT STRAIGHTENED OUT. Thank you.

Hi buckeyetom,

I've suspended your 'Perfect Storm' market because I'm confused on how we settle this. It's going to be hard to find out the exact amount of acres burned at noon is, especially if it has to be reported by the Governator. The other problem will be having someone on at noon to settle the market based on reports he or she sees, what if the reports come before or after noon? For now I'm leaning to a void because there's no way we can seemingly settle this market correctly. Do you have any suggestions?

Cheers,
Ryan

Hey there Friend! I sincerely appreciate your keeping me on your challenges list. I'm strictly a novice at sports, which is a disadvantage on hubdub. I do well to try to forecast which of two teams will win "straight up". The technical stuff, which will be a great challenge to genuine sports lovers, are beyond my puny little brain and I am forced to decline many of them. I really appreciate your keeping me on your list and don't want you to be offended by my deficiency in sports knowledge.

The good news is that I am progressing slightly. When I started hubdub in January, I avoided ALL sports questions. I got brave with the Olympics this summer and did reasonably well on prediction questions. Now I am gingerly venturing into elementary football and baseball...There could be hope for me yet!

OOO! That's funny. I actually live in Buckeye, AZ. It's about 30 miles west of downtown Phoenix. A few miles from where the Superbowl was last played. I thought my picture would give it away. However, I do like Ohio when they put a good team on the field.
