I feel that your observations are correct as well, randle. One of things that I worry about is that now, with these new negative factors, when pages are dropped to 950, our site will be tagged and put in a "watch" pile. And even when we fix the items that they consider negative, we will never fully regain our status. When you've spent 7-8 years building a quality site and have this happen while trying all along to please google, you may now be put in the same pile as a spammer or scraper. It's disheartening.
