Lots! But we don't know when the manual penalty was invoked - it could have been a month ago. They were very ready with the "please delete my links" - this only happend within the last 10 days. It seems there must be a faster way than the submission form which can take 2-3 weeks just to get a reply. Its very unnusual to have all your links down so quickly - especially as Google has to refresh the whole index - especially deep pages
