If that is true then haven't these submitters all passed their sell-by-date?

Seriously, TGSW started this whole market off and its big drawback was that it took 3 days or whatever to set the database up and then about another day a week to maintain it. It was worthwhile back then because of the traffic that followed, but the big edge DS, AS and CS had when they came along, was that you got all the traffic with almost no work.

But if, as your comment suggests, maintaining a sizeable database is once again a lot of work (and the returns are diminishing), aren't we back to having a manual submit list of 50 or so sites, right where we were in the beginning? And if so, as I wrote above, why not just save a whole lot of money and go with GASS/Roboform?
