I have lost Respect for Digg
The whole fiasco at Digg with the HD DVD encryption scheme and related info has shown that the Digg users are akin to a group of middle schoolers with a free day and a box of magic markers, who just found out how to write, “for a good time call…..”
For Example:

This info is already out, just let it go already, anyone who has the brains to use the code, should be able to figure out how to use a search engine. This kind of system gaming and wreckless digging goes to show why AOL/Netscape went with the Anchorperson system currently in place.
I find it annoying that what is usually a good place for information has turned into a waste of time within a day due to increased gaming and wreckless digging an article without reading it. That Said I don’t support DRM but again if you can use the info you should be able to operate a freakin search engine.
