Jake, as usual, you've got me thinking...

Is it the case that you feel that as long as your anchor text is handled appropriately, it does not matter whether the external page/site from which it comes makes a difference, other than PR? (I know that's not what you said, but is that what you think?)

Also, on a related front, do you feel that outbound links to relevant (tightly themed) sites help both pages rank well for kw's related to those two pages? That is, more than would be the case if the two pages were unrelated thematically. ;-)
