Janth you really believe PR works that way? Each page has a bucket full of PR footballs and the more that are handed off, the less that page is worth? I highly disagree.
I thought it was common knowledge.

PageRank Explained.

Quote:
A page "votes" an amount of PageRank onto each page that it links to. The amount of PageRank that it has to vote with is a little less than its own PageRank value (its own value * 0.85). This value is shared equally between all the pages that it links to.

From this, we could conclude that a link from a page with PR4 and 5 outbound links is worth more than a link from a page with PR8 and 100 outbound links. The PageRank of a page that links to yours is important but the number of links on that page is also important. The more links there are on a page, the less PageRank value your page will receive from it.
