Some old pages have indeed updated for me, but no updates on pages which were assigned PR on Feb 18.

My site has a very clear demonstation of the BD PR problem. I'll explain it here in case the Google people care to follow what's going on...

--My site went live in Nov. 2005.

--On the Feb 2006 PR update (the last pre BD update). My hompepage was assigned a PR2 and second level were assigned PR1. This seemed fair as at that time I really hadn't started a full scale link building campaign. So all was good...

--The April 4 2006 update is when things got ugly (just happens to be the first BD update?). All of my new pages were assigned rank, which seemed to be grossly inflated. PR4 and PR5 were all over my site. Problem was the original PR2 homepage and PR1 second level pages PR did not change, even though new second level pages very similar to the old now had PR5. So I bitched... and waited...

--The July 13 PR update seems to have corrected my grossly overinflated ranks on innner pages... But the PR2 homepage and original PR1 second level pages still linger.

In summary, there is no way my site is a PR2. It's full of great content, I have a significant number of quality inbounds, I have no link exchange spam going on and Matt Cutts himself has told me there is 'absolutely' no penalty in place. He said the reason for my problem getting pages indexed and non supplemental was solely due to PR. I now feel like i'm in a 9 month endless loop. Google is broke!
