    Give it up. DMOZ is full of small people who define being an editor as their only claim to fame in life, so you can never convince them.

    You can give them all the facts that you want but they are not capable of accepting it since it destroys DMOZ and their image of self importance for being an ODP meta idiot.:)

    How fortunate that most civilized justice systems have no truck with that sort of logic.

    I was just looking for the derivation of what I say three times is true and came across this :) . [It's an academic joke by the way - not to be taken seriously.]

    Here in Canada, our current Prime Minister was finance minister over a period of several years when there was a massive misappropriation of funds amounting to outright theft and fraud. The Prime Minister has been trying to claim he knew nothing about it and had nothing to do with it.

    It seems to me he is lost either way. If you don't believe he knew nothing about it, you must conclude that he is a liar and a thief. If you believe he really knew nothing about it, you must conclude he is incompetent.

    It seems to me, given the disreputable history of DMOZ, those who defend it have a similar choice: corruption or incompetence... take your choice.

    Which in turn brings up some questions: what's the longest anyone has ever waited for their DMOZ listing to be approved? I've heard some absolute horror stories.

    I can see those "subject" or "memo" parts already:

    "Donation"
    "Thank you, I love DMOZ"
    "In appreciation of Rich Skentra's hard work"

    Just kidding, dudes. lighten up :cool:

    Madness. Corruption. Incompetence. Or just a bad concept. Either way, in a directory with the professed goals of DMOZ, what site needs 2782 listings? And how many worthy listings didn't make it into the index while all those recipe pages were being added?

    That's correct... but go off the first page and you're still seeing hundreds of sites with number of DMOZ listings in three figures -- again, with the stated goals of DMOZ, what is that about?

    See the thread mentioned by gworld at http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=19132
