Got another email from Google, saying 'be patient'.

I would say to anyone looking for re-inclusion to take the time to go through their site directory by directory, with an FTP client like FTP Explorer, which shows the names and types of files in them, _before_ requesting re-inclusion.

I found another 100-odd dross web pages today, from years back, which fit the duplicate-content-pseudo-link-directory type.

Fingers crossed!

I think it needs to be emphasised that the following is NOT the case:

"Google is banning sites because they include the word directory in the title.
Google is banning sites because they use the ODP clone of the "Computers" category.
Google is banning sites because they have been hacked. "

Just the way it was written :)
