Fear not however, most webmasters aren't educated or don't care and would still submit, for such questionable benefit.

No offense, I know what you mean. That's why I personally submit my blogs to my own directory if they get some age (after two weeks or a month). Submitting blog or any other website to any directory (or just linking somewhere) just few minutes after I made it isn't good idea. It's normal that high PR directory will get crawled more often and faster than your new blog - this way search engines can see it as first.

Honestly, our discussion gave me a good idea to resolve this issue. My directory will still deep link 10 latest posts BUT there will be "noindex, follow" tag, so my page with them won't get indexed but link juice will follow. It will be better for my directory and for submitted blogs. I just have to put proper conditional tags. What do you think?
