Oh I don't disagree with your points at all, trust me as one whom has spent a great deal of time trying to clean up unreviewed at dmoz only to get a cat down to almost nothing and find the next day 1000 + new submissions too that cat and 90% + is spam, that is an open directory where the rules for acceptence isn't as clearly stated.
I think it is great that link sites have a clearly defined set of rules. Make my job as a submitter somewhat easier less guess work.
And I think what a great deal of the link sites have done to increase pr is awesome, a lot of hard work has gone into it I know.
But some of the more pickier rules make it hard to even want to bother with some of the link sites.....
Give me a bit and I will give you some examples...
