True, but it wasn't me doing the approving. I would have removed all of them already, but I wanted to wait til after this coming PR update.

As for free directories in general most are going to be plagued with the same problem because no one in the transaction has any reason to do it right.

It's interesting that I've found a strong correlation between higher PR sites and quality descriptions. This is the main reason I decided against deleting ALL free listings because these sites offer some value to visitors and I don't think it's right to discard something of decent quality that took effort on the part of someone to submit.

The other benefit to having had the free for all is there are a lot of good sites listed in cats that would otherwise NEVER get enough listings to be of any use to a visitor. The fine line between value for visitors and being "uncrowded" for new submissions is thin.
