Can others replace my Digg button?

Issue Summary

Hi,

I use the module here.

I submitted the story to Digg, here you can see the story on Digg.

However, someone submitted the same story with the SAME URL to Digg, and as of now my Digg button shows this newly submitted story. In others words someone replaced my Digg button, so now it shows less diggs.

I am not familiar with how the Digg code works. Do you know how is this possible that someone replaced my button, so now it points to another story? (in the past it showed 17 diggs, now it shows 2 diggs)

I don't know how the same URL could be submitted twice to Digg.com, usually that is not possible. This should be fixed by Digg.com by deleting the second story.

I neither know how was this possible. Yes, it is Digg's fault. Most likely the submitter user has administrative privileges on Digg, because he has an interesting profile and friends list...
