Ummm, my data included 2 comments and four submitted stories that are certainly not mine: one on colon cleansing and three on flower related themes.

So the data is, shall we say, "incomplete" for comments and wildly wrong for submitted stories.

I participated on digg.com sporadically, and only when drunk; nevertheless, I can confidently attest that none[1] of the content in my 'archive' was ever associated with my digg.com account (and therefore, obviously, none of the actual posts and comments I made on digg.com are present in the archive).

[1]: except this one specific bit: "user":{"username":"masonmark","user_id":"298680"}

Good to know, I haven't used digg in a very long time so I thought my account had been taken over by viral cat product marketers.

Mine contained maybe 2-3 stories I submitted. The rest (~100) are obvious spam stories that I never even upvoted. The separate "saves", "comments" and "submits" were all empty for me.

Same here. 1 comment out of (from what I remember) ~2000 comments
