That's the thing about America is that you can come here from somewhere else and, upon adapting and pledging allegiance to America and its ideals, you can become one of community of The People.

You raise a good point which resonates with a certain frustration I have with the notables format and the ephemeral nature of the board.
I would prefer to have a notable section for current diggs separated from the main news-oriented/combined format.
To facilitate diggs and deal with the ephemeral nature as well as un-linked and spread-out nature of the research in the main qrb breads, diggs could be broken out into separate breads for each digg and referenced in the diggs notable.
