Well, thank you for quoting your source
And silly me, I thought spammers were the
most unreliable sources of factual information...

around spamming Google (as Todd, Greg & Dave
are or were all top-level spammers), Matt asked
how succesful Google's recent efforts to stop
spam had been."

Some spammers talking to a Google employee
at a conferenceis not my idea of "Google said it's true".
More interestingly, it is noted in that gossip
column that a site must trip some sort of spam
filter before it goes into the probationary
area...

That means the webmaster is a SE spammer!
I don't think it's right to tell a person new to
webmastering that his site has been penalized
for spam unless you can find evidence
of spam on his site.
But oh well. I doubt it will do any good to try
to clear these things up. Some people love this
type of rumor and will go to their grave
swearing it's true.
If I launched a SEO type of forum where
gossip is not allowed, it would probably be a
very quiet forum haha. Actually, it's not
the gossip, itself, that bothers me, its when
the gossip is repeated as 100% pure fact.
The really odd thing is, I believe that you
"gossip believers" would not tolerate that
low level of integrity in your real life, in your offline
life, but there's something about the internet
that permits it into your mind.
Maybe it's the excitement, adventure, and mystery
Take care and watch out for those Google gremlins
cuz those little things are everywhere and they
are watching your every move Muhahahahaha!!!!!
