On a separate note… anyone ever experience thinking their site had been hit by an algorithm update and it was actually a penalty? Or vice versa? What did you do in that situation?

But I guess I am one of those rare people that do not use google webmaster tools on all my sites. I use a different stats program that works better for me.
So it would be really hard to contact me that way and tell me!

I was surely hit on a non-gaming site with algorithm updates – but if a penalty is only a manual adjustment, I doubt they ever got to me.

Sure, no problem
statcounter.com
It’s usually the first thing I look at.
It works best for me because I have lots of sites.
