I was just looking at the poll question and the answers and didn't see the correlation between having PR in a post title and unnatural linking patterns. I guess if someone is foolish enough to believe that trading links with any page that has high PR they're dumber than me

. I don't know much at all but I do know that the pages that link to me have to be pages that are relevant to mine.
