If you want a good summary you might want to mention that IMO one thing that got it major attention was this submission to reddit http://reddit.com/info/4p19... (mine) and then about an hour later this http://reddit.com/info/4p29...

For a long time they were the top 2 on reddit, and the majority of my hits (several thousand) came from there before slashdot got it.

"Digg results start going wonky. Posts with 44 diggs make the front page. Something is going on at Digg, something very strange."

I've seen front page stories with fewer diggs. It's a function of both number of diggs and rate (i.e. one that gets 40 diggs in an hour vs. 40 diggs in a day)

Great commentary, Duncan! I'm still hoping for a better response by Kevin and/or the DIGG crew on this issue.

I just read his followup - http://forevergeek.com/news... - and the last point makes a lot of sense: if that site was banned for spamming, why was it unbanned?
