I have visited the Submitta site, the auto submit search software site. They have added our directories without asking our permission.
They have a forum, where you may like to post to. It is here:
http://www.submitta.com/forum/viewforum.php?forum=1&96

Also, Altavista has solved the problem of auto submissions with this company, and it appears that they did it with the " text in image " method.
Here is the link on their forum explaining that: http://www.submitta.com/forum/viewtopic.php?topic=46&forum=1&3

Just trying to help with all the spammed submissions we all seem to be getting.
