Good first step!
Does that mean that (for the remaining pages on the site)...
a.) the other scraped content which exists on the remaining pages will be put in an iframe (rather than as text on the page)
- OR -
b.) that you will be removing nofollow from the pages you are scraping content from?
Either you trust the content enough that you should link to it directly, or you should put it in an iframe such that search engines don't see it. Either route would likely be more akin to fair use than what you are currently doing (automatically scraping 3rd party content into your pages and using it to rank against the content creators, without permission, and without a way of opting out).

After this many lies, do you actually believe he is planning on actually taking that step? In my books he's already used up his credibility. I won't believe anything he says until he says what he has done and someone else publicly verifies it. (He has lied enough that I don't think it worth my time to bother verifying anything he says. The bozo bit is well and truly flipped.)

Passive aggressiveness looks good on you.
this will all be done in the next 72 hours and then there will be nothing to complain or write about after that Aaron!
Thanks for making us better.
