Despite my efforts the /sarcasm tag is here to stay. I can definitely appreciate the dilemma of being buried because others don't recognize sarcasm. But I think there are enough smart people on Digg that if you post a real sarcastic zinger, it will rise to the top and you'll get your kudos - without the tag. Thanks for stopping by! By the way, be sure to check out my Digg conversation viewer at http://www.verysimple.com/digg/ - just enter your username and you can see your last few posts with any replies.

People who don't want their comment dugg down opt for the /sarcasm tag. (Not that they should care, though. Just telling it like it is.)

You got it all wrong. You see, when people post /sarcasm they are just closing a sarcasm tag that was open somewhere above in the thread. See, since I just said "sarcasm" I now have to close it using /sarcasm. Oh, and one more time for sarcasm in quotation marks above: /sarcasm. Oh fuck... One more: /sarcasm. There. :) No, no!
