It's unfair because this is business not a recreational hobby.

I guess I don't really see what you are getting at with this comment.

If I can write a better description that will attract surfers to my site than a newbie can why should I be penalised by having my description junked and something less added by the list owner? At the same time the newbie's poor description is also junked and a better one written by the link list owner.

I don't have a field for descriptions so nothing is really 'junked'. I just write my own.

It is true that you could most likely draw more attention by writing your own descriptions. But to be honest getting people to click on your site link is not my only objective.

This is not a game, this is serious business and survival of the fittest should definitely apply.

Again this one flies over my head. To me the one that can adapt to the environment would be the fittest.

I know of one well known link list that has written some appalling descriptions of various free sites promoting genuine amateurs just because the author doesn't happen to like the body shape of model who appears on the site. That is another reason for it to be considered unfair.

I can see this problem and I try not to be two negative in my descriptions. But for me writing straight up descriptions is supposed to be more like me telling them what they should expect to find. My voice so to speak. So the people who are comfortable with it may learn to trust me and become a regular visitor. Of coarse I do not have the submission base to keep them happy but that is another story.
