Is this story already on Digg?

Of course it isn’t but Digg still managed to ask the rhetoric question, and again showed how stupid and ineffective its automatic filter is.

Is this story already on Digg?

For the record I was submitting a Stories of Apple post, the one on the Apple IIgs creators.

Yes, the title and url do contain the “Apple” word but this is a story which definitely has no duplicates among the recently published content.
It verges on a decade-old computer and people now working elsewhere, not on iPads, iPhones and other “hot” products.

Nonetheless the mighty duplicate story sniffing algorhythm still misses the other clues and stops the submission asking: “Is this story already on Digg?”.
