Really? I am glad you said this (patience... read on) because I suspect that
another wave of page dropping has begun recently. From about 1000 (text
search, Google) referrals a day and all of my pages indexed, I have now just
about 200 a day. This began happening 1-2 weeks ago. Pages are dropped and
the traffic continues to decline, accordingly.
Meanwhile, Tonnie and I have been in touch with Matt Cutts several times, in
order to report hundreds or thousands of spam content Web sites with tens of
thousands of pages in each. Some of them relied on typos for traffic and
probably depended on AdSense for revenue. But this catchup chase was
hopeless (Tonnie did all the work, bless him!). Lenient registrars meant
that such sites just kept emerging faster than Tonnie could catch them. And
the lists grew longer and longer...

Jez, please keep me/us informed about this. *smile* It's probably worth a
separate thread altogether.
Ian, the degradation and depletion of indices appears to be gradual. This was
the same back in March when 6 billion subsites had many innocent Webmasters
victimised. So if your pages just vanished overnight, the explanation might
be different. Also, the fact that your front page does not exist rules this
out as a probable cause.
Best wishes,
Roy
