I know you run a link list, I use to submit a few years ago (few being about 6)! I know you review by hand which is basically, click a link, open up the site, check recips (if you don't have an automated recip checker), check the galleries, quality of pics, etc, hit the approve or deny button.

How is this any different from an end user actually building the site then using what is basically a form filler to get all fields filled in and hitting the enter button?

The way people work evolves from one year to the next and webmasters keep hearing the phrase, "work smarter not harder" - is it any surprise that they use tools that help them more effectively manage their time?

I remember when you had to send your site to LL owners via email and they manually placed them on their sites. They automated to make their lves easier so why exactly is it that they wouldn't want the people supplying them with content to have an easier time of submitting? It's not like these people are not spending time actually building the free sites to begin with!
