This is the second thread on the subject and almost full now.
No mention of it in Discussion of The Day

Hi folks. There's no conspiracy here, we promise! It's been a really good discussion and we've been enjoying following it. It has been highlighted in our In The News box (just below Discussion of the Day/Trending).
Discussion of the Day tends (though this isn't a hard and fast rule) to highlight slightly 'lighter' threads and In The News naturally tends to be threads with a bit more weight, but this isn't always the case. Discussion of the Day isn't decided purely on how many posts a thread has though, we just pick threads that we think look interesting and that people might want highlighting. As there was already a thread about this in the In The News box just below, it probably wouldn't have made it onto both.
With regards to Trending, we think the threads may well have been in there from time to time. Trending is largely out of our hands though - it simply lists the threads that are being most heavily used at any one time, so it has probably slipped in and out of there several times.
Hope that clarifies things a bit anyway.

Hi hiddenhome - we'll put thread number 3 on Discussions of the Day shortly.
We do want to assure you that there is no conspiracy and we have no issue with these threads being shared. As Iona has said above, Discussions of the Day do tend to be lighter topics, whereas threads about news stories, such as this, do tend to go into In The News.
