Can I add that you must be extra careful about who you link to especially if your site is some highly competive market?

I belive that niche markets sites can get away with a lot. Some spam filters could be applied only after some given amount of sites are indexed for a given query. Not sure about this.

But let's not get paranoid. I dont think Google will kill your site for a single PR 0 outboud link. As paynt mentionned, trashing bad outboud links should be part of the dusting routine.
