Aren;t you assuming it's a single person?
Is there any easy way to tell who is digging down comments?
I know very little about how digg works.

You make a point but I think both of you would have a difficult
time proving people are being paid to digg.
Some people collect stamps, Roy's hobby seems to be advocating
Linux. What's so bad about that?
> If he's paid for it, it's not that disturbing that he keeps stats.
Is there any proof that Roy keeps a database with this information?
The original comment says "I'm certain that he keeps a database
of all this". That isn't proof.
::Devil's advocate post on:::
Also by the same token, you and Hadron following him around seems
to be a little bit odd as well.
Why the fascination?
Are you guys being paid to discredit Roy?
Why not just score his posts down if they irritate you so much?
