PonyGirl, that was very nice of you! I feel for you, I just changed all mine on both lists, took me forever.
I try hard to read up on SE stuff, mostly from searchenginenews.com I've been subscribing to them for years. They have been talking about inbound links possibly causing problems for the last few months, specifically having too many with the exact same anchor text. I wasn't too concerned with that until I saw the WMW thread.
I agree that some of WMW's webmasters might have gotten nailed for scraping and basically having items on their sites that make it look like they are are using blackhat or greyhat techniques, so they might have been asking for it.
Then again, why risk it? I get a lot of my traffic from Google personally for my link lists, and would like to keep that.
I think if we all changed up our recip text every month or so, or allowed submitters to change it some, we might be better off in the long run. Less red flags, and more keyword terms for you to rank in per page. Just my 2 cents.
