I am happy to stand corrected too. How I understood it after going blind reading all the theories, was that a page has a rank/ value and somehow, fractions of that rank get attributed to the outbound links on the page, affecting the original page's rank. Actually, the more I read it, the more it sounds like a completely hooey theory!!! Probably some Zen webmaster decided that if there is a net positive to incoming links there must be a net negative somewhere else in the equation. I will quit while Im not too far behind and go add some more comments to that huge list of links. Thanks for the heads up. I am happy to stand corrected too.

Otherwise, no-one's ever going to gain any links are they? I know links are weighted according to 'authority', but I didn't think you could harm your own ranking by linking to a new blog with 0 PR. Seems a bit spiteful if that's the case... I do agree with not linking to sites known for 'black hat' SEO or who have been excluded from Google's index though-that could cause you some harm.
