Though we are losing good PR links, traffic still is lucrative enough to keep posting on propeller.

A lot of people seem to believe that, but surely they would have announced it by now, and dumped the rank in the toolbar. PR may be flawed, but surely an updated PR is better than an lingering old one? Or do you think they are working on a replacecement? Or did they just forget to wind up their Miki Mouse alarm clock ;-) Do you think they will?

I think we could all provide examples of good sites that are overshadowed by poor ones... that said, I know some blogs who like it that way, one actually asks not to be linked to as he doesn't want the digipoint tour-bus landing on his site.... depends why your blogging to a point.

You could trade links with PR5 / 6 sites who wouldn't give a PR 4 the time of day, thus improving your SEO. You could achieve in a few months what takes some sites a couple of years.

PR was only part of the reason people spammed it... click happy traffic was the other. Propeller will still get spammed, perhaps not as much. Regards building the propeller site, Netscape is an old site with 129k links recorded in google, will take a long time for any new site to climb to that level. I reckon a lot of those links probably pre-date the social media thing they had going. Netscape is a a real weird one.... No Following the links would not have stopped the traffic grabbers.

Read about this a couple of weeks ago, they were saying that people expected a straight up news site, which is what it used to be apparantly. I think its weird using a browsers homepage as a news site anyway, can you imagine the FF homepage turning into a mini digg spam fest ;-) I think it was to do with the branding and user expectations of what netscape.com shoudl be.
