Later I read Dean Wesley Smith's blogs, where he pointed out a lot I didn't know about agents, but by that time I had already decided to forego them. In one of my blogs I suggested that writers who wanted "validation," should submit to agents and, when one agreed to represent them, they had their validation and could now ignore them and submit right to editors.
