3 - autosubmitters are often slow to adapt to new forms, new submit page locations, or other.

4 - a drunk monkey with an auto site builder and autosubmit software can build and submit hundreds of useless, unlistable free sites every day, taking away hours of valuable time from hundreds of link sites and TGPs left to deal with the shit that these programs spew.

5 - I review by hand. If my traffic and being listed on PR2-pr4 pages isn't enough to make it worth it for you to take a few seconds to actually fill out the form and verify the information, I can't find the few seconds to review your site. It's all about respect.

Right, but the discussion was about Manual Submission Tools like AdvancedSubmitter, not Autosubmitters.
I actually see the problem with autosubmitters, and I consider autosubmitting at all as a bad move for Site owners and submitters, exactly for the reasons you've mentioned.

That's why I never enable autosubmitting for any of AdvancedSubmitters Databases, they're all prepared to setup recips properly, and to work as a form filler. And if I take the numbers of LinkList databases that were sold during the last 6 months I'd say they get used quite frequently, and I've never heard that any site owner would have a problem with it.
