You certainly know him better than me, Owen. I don't profess to know Kevin at all. In fact, I'd be interested to read your "open letter to alexis: stfu, here's the real explanation for digg4"
Perhaps. But I've really moved beyond it, and anything I say is probably not going to be constructive (and I guess my comment fits that criticiscm). At least until I get a green card and get to be something other than an employee in this country. Because I'd really like to do rather than say.
As someone who used to work at a newspaper and harangue the business editor about how corrupt the editorial process was, long before digg, I occasionally get angry. Probably for similar reasons to your post.
