Digg controversy

First off I want to say that I am a loyal fan of digg, the website and the podcast. So if anyone thinks I am have a bias, you can think that if you want but at least think about all that has been posted about this and the response from Kevin Rose at http://diggtheblog.blogspot.com/2006/04/digging-fraud.html
before you decide how you feel about it.
Any site that has users in the hundreds of thousands is going to have some users try and take advantage of the way the site looks and is run on occasion. I mean everything from voting for your favorite all-stars on a sports league site to getting your opinions heard in a survey can be fixed if you have the right programing skills or a bunch of friends with time on their hands. Give these guys and other "legitimate" sites out there that your fans of the benefit of the doubt. You do have to decide for yourself what is legit and what isn't but still just take the time to think about things before you assume.
The way the net is today anyone can post anything they want on the net. Some things end up becoming at least partially true, like the idea that windows will someday run on a mac. Good job Dvorak. And others like the pics of the Video, projector/spaceship future ipod model you see on the net, are just people trying to get attention. Those things are fun but if anyone believes everything they see on the net, especially with people becoming pros at photoshop, then you need to think a bit hareder next time you log on the net.
Just give these guys a break and if you want to get your stories out ahead of everyone elses make your own site don't ruin someone elses'.
