@rudyabsolutely, and it wouldnt be that hard of a programming task to include the votes separately. the payoff would be increased insight into popular opinion
I'm still confused about why diggers are so afraid of showing any form of interest about the creator of what is obviously one of their favorite website. There's about 4 or 5 major krose/albrecht articles per month that get on Digg, and in just about every single one of them there are throngs of diggers prepared to comment about how bitter they are about kevin rose's mild celebrity status, and about how the diggers flock to any story that involves him. Considering that there are hundreds and hundreds of articles that make the front page each month, these "wow shut up about kevin rose already" comments just don't really make any sense.Don't worry, it's OK, we won't assume you have a homosexual attraction to Kevin Rose if you make a positive comment. Really.

How can you tell what someone like based on titles without understand the meaning of those titles? I could get branded as liking Microsoft when I digg MS stories so that I can flame them!Or let's say I Digg some "George W. Bush sucks ass" stories. Will I be branded as a fan of Bush, or of sucking ass?Bring the Top User list back. And add karma. Although, I think Force Points would be better. :) ) Or can Lucas sue over that?Damn you, Lucas!Oh, now I'm going to be branded a Star Wars fan.

I think a built in messaging system would be awesome. What would take the cake might even be it's own IM client.
