Hey GoogleGuy - Good Stuff thanks for spending some time to answer some questions.

Regarding your post - do penalties last forever you mentioned that if a webmaster is pretty sure they did something wrong they could email Google and with confirmation of what they thought they did wrong and the remedies they have put in place.

What if the webmaster has recieved a penanlty but they did know what they did wrong - by emailing Google will Google on occassion confirm to the webmaster why the penalty applies....? (this can also go with the question regarding webmasters who do not design a website around search engines - they could have designed a page for functionailty reasons that may have caused a penality - yet this webmaster may have no idea why - I think we do occassionally see posts from webmasters who truelly have no idea why they have a penalty)

Anyway thanks for the great posts :)
