Hello blogspotter. I appreciate your comments. As far as the review from ss20, he only took article writing and spinning, not submissions (he indicated that in his review) so there wasn't any focus on /submissions/approvals thus allowing for greater turn around time (his topic of SEO was also a help to me because it is something I can write fresh unique articles for a long time with).
As far as the 2 sites you have mentioned, they have high PR and not attempting to syndicate an article there would limit the PR option of the service. If a submission is NOT approved, adjustments to the content are made for a resubmission or another article directory site is selected. THIS SERVICE HAS 100% APPROVAL!
My first FULL order was completed last night and well ahead of schedule. He has also made another purchase and I am sure he will be here to review the service soon (i don't mention member names or business names under any circumstances without permission however I am confident that he will be commenting soon).
Also, to mention the review I had received from a newb member. The content of my thread is ranking in search engine somewhere (where he found me looking for article services). He became a WF member because he saw my thread.
As far as to how active of a member he would be on WF, I can not say. All I can attest to is that he is happy with the work and has already referred me to another client outside of WF.
I appreciate your concerns as they are valid. My service is roughly 2 days old and I am sure that as the days and weeks go on and customers receive their orders that there will be reviews from more members.
If you have any other questions, comments or concerns please do not hesitate to ask. I will do my best to clarify things for you.
