Thanks martina, I am aware of those issues , nevertheless, these older links where acquired when years ago when this was ok, Actually, the articles used to bring in great traffic an I took a lot of care in producing them, ah well

Anyway, I am well aware that things change, that which was acceptable 2/3 years ago when the links where acquired are today beyond the Google pale

As for the new link, which is what this thread is about, Here is the thing, with their current mindset, how do they reliably distiguish natural from requested link ?

Do they say ohh look, this site had directory submissions in the past, this new link also must be un organic zappp :)
