If a guy who couldnt write a line of code or build an html page was able to get a startup up and running, raise funds, create one of the top destination site on the net, changed the way we consume news, and be worth millions only a few months after having an idea...then Bravo to him. You got paid, and noone had a gun to your head to do the work.
The beautiful part of this is that you can always go ahead and give us a new way to share news. Digg just scratched the surface.
It might seem a little too ranting if you are unaware of who ojbyrne is but this will help bring more light into the picture. http://owenbyrne.com/resume/
I do respect your criticism, though I think it's a bit hyperbolic. While no one held a gun to my head, I was repeatedly misled by people who I believed, mistakenly, had at least a small amount of integrity.
