stgeorge,

What do your your description tags look like?
Are they all unique?
Do they contain duplicate text from the same page? (Sometimes I use the first paragraph of an article as the description as well.)
Anything unusual about them at all?

I'm not if sure individual pages can suffer from "the 950". My personal belief on that thread is that it has become so long and drawn out that it is all but impossible to separate the useful information from the conjecture.

As to scapers,
Scrapers have never been a huge problem with my site but there has couple of incidents in the past. I wonder if it would even be possible, after the fact, to see if scapers had taken the content of the pages in question. I mean, maybe anyone who had scraped those pages might have suffered the same fate.
