Its great that you dont get any spam, but reading the forums of other directory scripts and having purchased and used many myself I have to disagree with you. I could quite easily pluck threads from left right and center to support this but that would direct the thread to particular scripts which is not my intention.

Captcha's really suck for directory submitters. It makes submitting sites take twice as long, and if you have many sites to submit, often a large purchaser will just skip over your directory if you have a captcha. I'd recommend against them.

Again I strongly disagree, and if you are not getting spam then its only by luck or the fact you charge and do not accept free listings which a majority do. A credible directory submittor would not hesitate in using captcha if it meant providing his/her client with a link in a reputable directory, its only the ones who want to make a quick buck with the least amount of work that would be bothered.
If you think they 'suck' then that is your opinion, I think its simply a case of we'll have to agree to disagree as you won't convince me otherwise, but I am speaking as a victim of spam, you've never been one if I read you correct which makes your words kind of obsolete. My view on things is that unless you've experienced the problem you can't really give a qualified opinion; if you'd been a victim of spam you would certainly change your view I suspect.
