They seem to think that because they have risen to the top of the heap that somehow they must have manipulated there. Also there is a strong current of "they have no lives". That's simply inaccurate. I've risen into the high 200s just by paying attention to the news and submitting stories when I found them interesting. Anyway, that's a bit off topic. My point is that I think your story illustrates the TRUE problem with Digg... the Bury Brigade. Digg needs to make buries public, rather than allowing people to constantly target users or topics to bury without recourse. Anyway, sorry your story didn't survive long on digg, however, it appears our mention of your list has sent some decent traffic your way. I realize it's nothing compared to the Digg effect but hey, it's something... Chris, I think your story getting buried was likely the result of the hatred many Digg users have for the top 100 users.

I should be 96 on the list but i am instead 98 because it is not organizing by profile views like diggs did. Great work anyways! You need to fix the issue of correct sorting.
