Matt Cutts on his blog looked at a couple of sites where people complained about dropping and he found common problems with all of them

Thats fine. I am sure most sites, ours included, have skeletons in the closet, current issues, etc. The point is you can dig up dirt on pretty much any site if you dig deep enough. You don't have to be the world's biggest spammer to trip a filter, and its very evident that the spammers are doing everything in their power to look like one of us. I have yet to see a site that has been perfect from day 1.

The point is that the results of these penalties do not make sense, practically or theoretically. They are a result of an overzealous filter that needs to be toned down.
