My experience with backlinks, is once you reach a certain level of backlinks, there is nothing you can do to stop further ones being added.

Either by cold calling link exchangers, people who simply copy other site's outbound links, software that scans dmoz and search results etc,

I monitor the links of dozens of sites which I have not manually added a link to in some years, yet their inbounds continue to grow.

Marcia have you checked inbound links for the sites using a reliable tool and can say for sure no links added in a long, LONG time?
