Email Inbox is Full

Man, all my Digg buddies are really freaking out. I've gotten like 200 emails this morning from all of the people who vote together and they're all worried that we're going to get rolled up. Some are even saying we should turn off our bots for a while.

Instead of responding to everyone, I'm just going to say it here. Don't worry, we're covered. As long as we keep sending Kevin his cut from our marketing payolla, he'll be cool. Let the Digg Children rant and rave for a while, this will all blow over. There's no way we're getting banned. Just chill.

If You Strike Me Down I Shall Become More Powerful Than You Could Possibly Imagine

So these dolts that want me banned just don't understand the power of scripts. Sure, they can ban me, but I can just fall back to one of the fifty other users I've got and start running my scripts on them. I'll be back up at the top in a few months.

Besides, Kevin told me that they'll never ban me. Thanks Bro.

Rough Day Ahead

Wow, did you see the dust up over the weekend? It seems some joker took some snapshots of my activity page and thought I was digging a bit fast. Can people not take a joke? How the heck am I supposed to digg all the stories from my circle of friends if I don't take a few short cuts?

I totally missed that this was going on over the weekend because I was over at Kevins. Some website sent me a complete collection of Star Wars figurines in exchange for promoting one of their stories, and I just had to show him. So we're in the hot tub playing with the action figures when his blackberry goes off. It turns out the latest release the developers pushed out had a bug and it wasn't hiding my bot any more. There's going to be hell to pay when Kevin gets back into the office. They really need to do a better job of testing their releases instead of just pushing everything out the door.

So a lot of people are calling for me to be banned. I think this is totally bogus. I've given so much to the community. If it wasn't for me, there wouldn't even be a front page. And don't these idiots realize I've got a family to feed? If I quit the payolla from marketing companies is going to totally dry up, and then what am I supposed to do? Besides, those sharks Maki and Saleem are just going to take over if I get tubed. How fair would that be?
