Is it possibly that PR can propagates across a whole directory, build PR on one page and it has a certain residual affect on each page? (it does from site to site - the higher PR goes down slightly and the lower PR goes up slightly compared to each relative original PR - I don't know, anyone else??)

Also if this linking is homepage to homepage would this lessen the feedback loop affect. Smaller loss of PR for the outbound link than that when not reciprocating directly back to the specific page that linked to you?

Last - It is always good to submit the page you have linked to, since there isn't any guarantee that googlebot will hit every page and link in one update. Which reminds me - a site that had no PR (gray tool bar) is quit possibly not indexed and therefore may in fact have a relative higher PR based on future (unknown) PR performance.

Any thoughts?
