That Digg story very recently hit the front page, and received more than a respectable number of diggs...

Then shortly thereafter, was tagged "Innacurate" and now has VANISHED from the front page!

Is this the work of a cabal of the top 30 digg users?

I apologize for the somewhat sparse article, but my purpose here is more to document this instance, in the hopes that it won't be ignored by the community. I actually SAW this story vanish from the front page in less than an hour, after being caught up in keeping up with this supposed conspiracy. To actually see this occur only reinforced the likelihood of a cabal of users manipulating each other's submissions and snuffing those they don't care for. I actually started shaking with excitement when I saw this happening.

Other useful Digg stories on this subject include:

"Democratic?" "User-Driven?" These do not describe Digg

Thanks for the diggs, and thanks for stopping by.
