This particular case seems to be rare (but who really knows) but I've given up on them years ago. Many editors treat it sooo seriously that they place themselves above the pack acting like the typical editorial snob. That, and there is a real problem with self-interest issues - it's a flawed process, and it CAN (and has been) abused. Anyway, I haven't even thought about DMOZ for at least 2 years now ... are they still going around. Shows how relevant they are. oh shit, don’t get me started about DMOZ.
