Take this into account from the second article, and it's straight from Google...

[~CReed]

Sorry, but I see no facts presented to substantiate any claim the reciprocal linking is 100% useless. I will agree that excessive reciprocal linking with the intent of manipulating rankings or PageRank can cause problems.
