Thanks for the clarification. I'm still not totally convinced some clever folks out there won't find ways to reduce search results for websites promoting competitors. Google will have every reason to suspect they're doing "the right thing" on some of these requests, but it's hard to imagine there won't be some ulterior motive, or even just unintended consequences, behind some of these requests that would not be obvious to the naked eye. It's almost as if: not only do people who want keywords removed need to keep an eye out, but people who don't want their pages removed from search results will need to monitor this as well. It will be interesting to see what kinds of disputes occur as a result of this. An interesting social experiment if nothing else.
