Well 1script, I for one, am really happy you did start this topic.

We are also affected. We have completely overhauled our site, I am now really pleased with how it looks, appears to customers, navigation is much better etc.
We've been through all html, sorted out possible duplicate content, sorted out who we link to and will now file a re-inclusion request.
If that doesn't resolve this problem then I would really be at a loss as to how to resolve this.

Current contenders for the cause of this penalty appear to be:
1) Link exchanges with not particularyly good sites or relevant ones
2) Duplicate content.
3) Over SEO'd pages - thinking about this, this could mean anything - bit of a catch all.
4) Purchasing links?
