If you folks are seriously suggesting that crappy link networks do not work with google, you are insane.

1. Are you suggesting that links from one site to a brand new site is going to rank the brand new site in the top five at Google?

2. We're not discussing link networks. We are discussing the OPs specific issue.

In nearly every niche there are sites with 4,000+ home page links - and they own all of them.

Nearly every niche? Nah. Unless you're counting dot EDUs.
