Digg Bug or Digg Fraud Against thisnovember5th.com Story?

I submitted a rather interesting story to digg.com but then it disappeared from the search results for “ron paul”. No, it wasn’t simply “buried”—it was taken off the results of searches that included “buried” stories!

Evidence is in the screen shots provided herein.

UPDATE 5:30PM PST: It has reappeared in the search results…

Oh, and happy Halloween!

Here is the story that, until it received 20 “diggs”, had appeared in the search results that were supposed to include “buried” stories:

Here are the search results that include buried stories ordered by when they were submitted. Notice the age of the stories and the date/time in the above and following screen shots. This is not consistent with digg.com doing what they say they do with searches that are supposed to include “buried” stories.

Perhaps on the next page of search results? NOPE!

I reproduced these results with another computer not logged with any registered account, so it can’t be that their algorithm is excluding one’s own stories from the search results. In any case, prior to the story hitting 20 diggs, the story did appear consistently so long as the “include buried” flag was checked, as it obviously was by examination of the URL querying digg to include buried stories.

Happy Halloween to you too, Mr. Bowery.

Just out of curiosity: why do you wear your hair long? Are you perchance a heavy metal fan, or are you just going for the old time Viking/Anglo-Saxon warrior look? I tried to grow my hair long myself when I was younger, but it was always much too thick.
