From what I've seen in the past year, DD is the kind of guy that has put in his time into this business. He knows that a number of "noobs" are fly by night and that eventually, they will disappear or fall by the way side.
Now put yourself in his shoes. He has his faithful group (I believe its about 12-24 people, maybe more or less) of regular submitters. These regulars submit to him if not every day then every second day, I am certain of this.
He runs a quality linklist and has earned the right to dictate and operate by whatever means he sees fit.
Let's say for some reason or another, you decide you no longer want to do this business. You move on. Life is like that. Who cares, right? Wrong.
Danger Dave cares. He does NOT want to see dead links or blind links for whatever reason. Period. He has developed quite an international following I'm sure and the last thing surfers want to see is dead or blind links, cookie cutter sites and most importantly, cheats.
I don't think I have ever had a site accepted at danger dave's. One day a long time ago, DD & JK from JK's porn told me they would never list me because of my poor attitude. I deserved their wrath - at theat time.
Even though I was out of line, both of those guys STILL gave me good, sold advice: Work hard, build and submit EVERY DAY & maybe one day, they may re-consider.
Even if they don't re-consider, the point of their message got through to me loud and clear: Take this business seriously, or get out.
Hope that helps.
It did for me.
