What an incredibly misleading headline based only on circumstantial evidence. First of all, PR2 is not hard to get, you get indexed and you're already halfway to a PR2. It's true that Google has devalued the impact of inbound links recently, but that in no way means that suddenly getting inbound links with good anchortext is worthless. Also, toolbar PR rounds up, so for all you know the PR could have been 1.000001. In short, don't listen to this guy, and keep getting those inbound links. They can't hurt you, and, from the hundreds of sites I have ran, I know they do help.
