When will people learn, digg uses an algorithm not simply the count of diggs. It doesn't even care about comments. If an article gets 30 diggs in a couple minutes it's much more likely to be promoted to the front page than if it get the 30 diggs in a span of a few hours. The fact that Kevin dugg it makes it infinitly more likely that it will get a rapid influx of diggs because mindless sychophants that monitor his diggs will often digg the story regardless if they've read it or not or liked it or not.
