Thank you for finally saying that Jay. Well you know, not to be pointing fingers and such. You may have said it in some other thread, but this is the first time I've seen it. Though it seems as though a lot of damage as been done. Guess we'll see where this all falls out.
Thanks for the support. I'm still with digg now, until the effects of the new algo can be determined. I always try to submit mainly quality articles, I do submit a few off-beat articles from time to time, which I never expect to go front page and I could care less. But, if the new algo punishes me for having friends that are interested in programming, open source, xml technologies, linux, and stupid videos ... well then it will be time for me to leave.I'm already participating in a few other ventures. Let's just keep the faith for a bit longer.
"and frankly are being unfairly treated by a few bad apples"Way to defend the top diggers, while tossing aside everyone else by calling us bad apples. You should be happy that those "bad apples" care enough about Digg to make such a ruckus. If no one really gave a damn, no one would have said anything. They would have gone on about their day, or found a different site to visit.

Fights to maintain relevancy? Bulls**t. Nice sensationalist headline there...
