The digg story is here, but I am almost sorry that I dugg it, due to the last sentence, which is juvenile, IMHO. BTW, please let me be really clear that I am *not* the person who submitted this digg story:

I would like to get people's opinions as to how we should deal with that nasty last sentence in that digg story. Should I undigg myself on that story or not?
But it would be nice to get a few votes in the firehose for the /. story.

Comrade Ringo Kamens
