There is finally an editor willing to stand up and try to turn the ODP around and you are not willing to give them a chance? I would assume it's due to a few of the other editors in this thread, but even then, come on... The ODP used to be worth it, and honestly it could be worth it again. Go on & discount the ODP overall, it needs to be... but don't tread on the few editors willing to make a change. There is and will continue to be hope that the ODP can have change for the better... but it will take not only the editors, but everyone else as well. I just wish there were more editors like the OP in this thread that actually can see the need for change.
I didn't say anything about him... just DMOZ... That's cool that there is an editor that is trying to make a difference just still won't waste my time submitting there. The back link ain't that valuable.
