My affected site has always been presumed (by me) to be out-hitting its link popularity owing to its open directory listing. I'm certainly aware of affected sites which aren't dmoz listed, however I also notice that dmoz listings aren't showing up in back link queries that I've made where they used to prominently.

I'm not suggesting that the DMOZ listings are the whole story but rather an important subset of a set of links that have been downgraded in value. I'm still of the opinion expressed earlier that the positiion six is actuallly a "transitional relief" extended to sites badly affected by the changes, but i'm aware no-one else seems to buy this.
