---- Scraper Site Clearout Collateral Damage?

My main site got punished yesterday by a complete removal from the index(old news - I have noted this on a couple of other threads). I had been e-mailing Google back and forth for the last week asking them to look at my website and see it that was the most relevant site in my niche - and to please restore my rankings to where they were before July 22 - when I was getting 10000 Google ref a day.

Obviously Google got tired of dealing with me, and kicked me of the index altogether today. I saw on another thread that GoogleGuy said that they were manually removing scrapers today - and I guess I drew attention to myself and got banned along with the rest of them. I AM NOT A SCRAPER - IT IS ALL MY ORIGINAL CONTENT. My Adsense placements were set up like a scraper site - the scrapers know how to maximize clicks - but the content was mine!
Is it too late to do anything - should I reload my site to another domain that I've kept around just in case something like this happens? Is my domain now dead - should I abandon it altogetger? I still get arounf 4000 ref a day from Yahoo and MSN, but my Google refs are now a big fat GOOSEEGG!

Any sugestions?
