caveman - I don't think it has to be hundreds. I think I'm seeing collateral damage on much smaller groupings of sites, definitely related, but scarcely interlinked and not really going after the same terms. I'm guessing they'd even pass manual inspection... just not fragmentation bombing. Also, as I've mentioned elsewhere on the forums, consecutive class Cs seem to suffice... they don't have to be in the same block.

I've heard by word of mouth that the same whois data may have triggered some drops on other sites, but my guess is that, on those particular sites, there may have been other factors that prompted the inspection.
