bether2, FWIW I should not have added the parenthetical thought about "possibly buying links" because I don't believe it's dangerous per se. People buy links/text ads all the time, and as mfishy as pointed out somewhere this would be an easy way to kill a competitor. For that reason alone it makes no sense. OTOH, buying *thousands* of links just to affect PR may be an issue, but that's quite a different thing.

Regarding PR6-8 homepages that were still performing extremely well albeit now with PR0's, my only point was that it was odd, that I had not seen it before, and that I wondered if it would lead to bad news for those pages. Just pointing out an oddity really.

WebFusion, as far as steveb's comments, I thought he was referring to me, and as I'm not very bright, I hadn't really taken it as an insult. :-)
