No, because I was using private blog networks and most of the blogs were deindexed and I couldn't get them to remove those bad links pointing to my site.
I receive numerous requests on a daily basis to remove links and I have yet to remove a single solitary link. I started a thread about this issue a while back and someone suggested that I charge to remove the links.
For me, that was and is a total waste of my time. My point being; most people that receive link removal requests to are not going to remove anything. Others are going to respond by sending you an administrative fee charge. Google has already devalued those links, so why bother?
For the people who could not bring their sites back, I'm willing to bet 10,000 to 1 that they never intelligently evaluated their link architecture to see what Google sees.
I've brought sites back from the dead that got hit by Penguin but it would not have happened without peering into the sites with the mind of Google.
Hint hint, you will need tools like SEOMOZ pro and link architecture evaluator my MS.
