Re: Israel/Palestine: One state or two? (none / 0)
My guess is because you linked to it and mentioned that the thread contained troll-rated comments, on a slow Sunday. And because it was a slow Sunday, people took a look for the entertainment value of seeing a troll being publicly smacked down. But that's just a guess.

I hadn't realised that page hits, as well as recs were used to rank the rec list.

AFAIK, they aren't. But it is entirely possible that some of the people who came here rec'ed it. And if some of those people hadn't rec'ed it before, then it could conceivably bump it to the rec list on a slow day, because recs decay based on the date of the rec not the date of the diary.
