Nobody stops to think that all these links are coming from a lot of crappy sites that Google doesn't consider very highly to begin with, so do they really help. Who knows? Last month they did maybe, this month they might not, next month they might penalize you.
If people spent as much time writing content for their sites as they did worrying about PR and schemes to trick search engines, they'd be a lot further ahead.
