That is no BS Minstrel, you damn well know she has a lot of underwear http://www.hustlerpanties.com/products.php?id=1&pg=2
Yes, Anthony, but in most social circles it is considered bad form to comment on a lady's underwear in public. A real gentleman leaves that for private conversations
Only solution would be when Google stopped updating from DMOZ and started hiring their own vontuleers and actually check on the results with spiders..... Spiders could easily check if links are ment for affiliate links... Also counting submissions (and actual placements like Dutch directories do) would help. As soon as DMOZ loses Google support, they lost their powers and will try to improve to get Google back.
You are out of touch. As far as I know, editors sacrifice their children so that Google will drop DMOZ - they hope Google will drop DMOZ as soon as possible.
Google keeps finding threads complaining about Hutcheson. And yet he was voted 2000 "tie for second most congenial editor". Stephen has no web sites. That's right. He's a meta editor without a zip of web experience. Stephen P. Hutcheson was born 14 February, 1956 in Plano, TX.

Source: http://dmoz.org/profiles/hutcheson.html Stephen is living in Texas, although he edits an ODP category about Tennessee. Stephen listed himself as living at: Stephen Hutcheson 7929 Steppington Plano, TX, USA 75025 (972) 517-7445 http://maps.google.com/maps?li=rwp&q=7929+STEPPINGTON+DR,+PLANO,+TX+75025 Source: http://www.ccel.org/cceh/cceh_add.htm But... that data is old. Stephen and Nellie Ruth were divorced on 5/21/2001 when he was 45 and she was 46. Nellie got the house on Steppington Drive in the divorce, so I have no idea why Stepehen is still listed as living there. Stephen and Nellie Ruth Ellard were married on 6/4/83 and have two children, David Andrew Hutcheson (1/1/1985 in Phoenix, AZ) and Laura Ruth Hutcheson (3/13/1987 in Plano, TX) .

He definitely overstepped his boundaries many, many times. I myself believe he has some severe emotional problems based on having seen some of his past and present posts. For some reason I believe he is just grandstanding and in need of some attention. Maybe his divorce made him nuts .....who knows!
I have responded to your thread, Will and hope this will all be over soon, it gets very tiring and very old http://resource-zone.com/forum/showthread.php?p=178141#post178141 Mike
I don't believe posting anything, politely or not, calmly or angrily, is goint to change a damn thing at The Resourceless Zone or at DMOZ. Even if one is successful in having rogue editors removed, others will quickly replace him. The reality is that even the majority of the nice editors have a personal agenda there and that's one of the major problems. Another is that the DMOZ concept is fatally flawed -- there is no way for them to keep up with the growth of the internet. I believe that over the past 2-3 years, Google has been slowly reducing the value it places on DMOZ and I think it will continue to do so until DMOZ dies a slow painful death. When that happens, the internet will be a better place -- rather like getting woodrot and mold out of your bathroom. I think the efforts of people who are upset with DMOZ should be perhaps best employed in two ways: 1. continue to expose the rot to other webmasters, which will perhaps save them the frustration many of you have experienced, although I don't think it will help anything at DMOZ 2. continue to promote the use of other directories to submit your websites, since ultimately this will reduce the undeserved influence DMOZ currently enjoys 3. lobby Google about the rot at the heart of what it uses to feed the Google Directory - once Google drops DMOZ, DMOZ and its RZ editors are history
This is nothing new, sitetutor. If the good people had the will or the power to do anything about the rot, why haven't they already done so?
because they are being intimidated. There is only one DMOZ and it is a Hirarchy. Being a DMOZ editor makes you no worse or better than me and you. It is just a different dimension with different rules. Noone wants to give it up but they are stuck being objected to the moodswings of a few unstable guys.
Okay, And? As I said, this situation has been going on for a long time. If there is anyone at DMOZ who has the will and the power to change anything, why hasn't it happened already? I don't brand all DMOZ editors with the same labels but I do think the "good" ones have to accept some of the responsibility for letting the rogues run wild. You know the old saying: You're either part of the solution or you're part of the problem.
Will, /me confused. I've read you thread on RZ, are DMOZ saying that enterprisestoragemanagment and SAN security are a) the same content, and b) covering the same topic ?? ERM, they're not the same topic and there not the same content (might be the same layout but so what). If you like, these are technical topics (your average Joe will never have heard of a SAN), surely the cat' editor must have some techy background.
My sites are not going to be listed no matter what happens, so why not have a bit of fun with it? I mean seriously, these two sites have been in the queu since 2003. EnterpriseStorageManagements was kicked to the curb because it's about storage and SANSecurity is about storage too, so they must be the same site, right? Wow... what an embarassing display of poor logic. On the other hand, I really wasn't angered by Jim's lack of comprehension. It's understandable. Perhaps he really doesn't understand storage and doesn't know the difference. And perhaps he really didn't look at the site long enough to evalute it. At least he was honest about that. Stephen, on the other hand, really offended me quite thoroughly. It seems to me that if one of the problems with the ResourceZone is Editors treating others with no respect or common courtesy, one possible response is to remind them that they are not special Gof-like humans who sit in judgement of the rest of us. We're all just human and we all live on this planet together. So... let's have a little bit of fun. I wonder if they realize how easy it would be to register and populate http://www-bios-of-the-dmoz-editors.net.
