Lesson learned
Hubpages has taught me a valuable lesson this morning. Not having complete control over your own work sucks!
It seems alright for HP to place completely irrelevant and unrelated links to other's hubs, on my hubs. All this in the RELATED hubs section. Yet links to my OWN hubs, that I feel ARE related is a violation of TOS.
HP's related hubs are so off topic they are ridiculous.
Oh well, lesson learned. Do not make the same mistake twice.
