    Im afraid it would be wrong of me to comment on your assumptions. Mind reading is not one of my better attributes.

    I can merely refer to facts, which is simply that it may be reviewed, but no time frame is given.

    I see no sense in going around in circles so I will leave it at that. :D

    You we'll just sit down and pray that a concerned editor reviews our site.

    And if it isn't. This time frame uses to go infinite. Which is just the same as saying "It may never be reviewed..."

    Nobody is asking you to read minds.
    You were asked simple question, not even philosophical one, more like logical and because I’m sure you know what logic means, I will give you another chance to come up with answer and tell me if I’m wrong.

    When one says “may” he is emphasizes a possibility and not certainty as if he don’t know if something is going to happen. If one is confidant about outcome, he would say: it “will” happen. Are you with me so far?

    I’ll give you an example.
    I'm sure you know that dreaded commercial that promises to make you penis larger.
    Have you noticed it doesn’t promises you to make it longer which makes claim to make it larger just a possibility of something may happen but it will make no difference to real desire of almost every man to make it longer?

    Now, if you stop playing with your penis and start using your logic, you may answer my simple question.
    Is may when it comes to your statement means site may never be reviewed?

    So, now you don’t have to deal with assumptions, you can deal with logic instead.

    ;)

    It's obvious 'may' is inclusive of 'may not' to anybody with a logical brain.

    Was quoting that line any less offensive?

    Then what is the problem with some saying MAY and others saying MAY NOT? Are they both not inclusive of the other? You see the glass as half full, others see it as half empty...

    Mmhhh.....i thought i did, but just in case you didnt understand the first time :)

    I can merely refer to facts, which is simply that it may be reviewed, but no time frame is given.

    Hopefully this clears it up for you :)

    Also, any of the 'How much is your website worth' tools factor in your DMOZ listing.

    Referring to the facts it may never be reviewed:

    You can look at the glass as half full or half empty, if and only if the glass is actually 50% full, 50% empty. That is not the case of DMOZ submissions. So, the most accurate term would be: "It may never be reviewed"

    Absolutely correct, and it has no "right" or "promise" to be listed. I think you're finally "getting" it.

    DMOZ submission form is a trap for unaware webmasters/site owners who stumble upon DMOZ.

    DMOZ editors like to repeat the same thing endlessly. And they need someone to repeat it to. Suggestion form is the main entry point to this repeating room at resourceZone.com

    If it were a real place, upon entering you would hear Jim's voice repeating over and over: "Some volunteer will process your listing suggestion in time but we can't predict who or when that might be. Elapsed times can range from a few days to a few years. There is no need to re-suggest your website and doing so could be counter-productive because a later suggestion overwrites any earlier one." :D

    Editors have the somewhat strange need of punishing someone. :rolleyes:

    But I have never been punished by an editor. And nobody with two working neurons has. Because that punishment exists in editor's mind only. :)
    What is the real-world action an editor can do? Removing a site already listed? How can someone be affected by that? Yet, editors believe they are punishing. You can tell by their attitude.

    No, it doesn't

    Why not just say "will" instead?
    If you said: it will be reviewed, then we wouldn't talk about this subject. Now, would we?

    Because Dmoz is one of the best directories available and above all when you calculate value of your website it also depends on listing in Dmoz. Moreover its considered to be the only human editing directory.

    Now boy I will make you to it what you just said.

    Google for: best free directories and look for AMRAY on Page #1
    It may surprise you but AMRAY Directory is NOT LISTED in DMOZ index
    Now, you tell me boy how better DMOZ can do for us?

    As to the only I'm sure nice man in white coat told you that there is no fly on your plate and you have to take your medicine regularly to stop hallucinations.

    Again, check AMRAY

    :rolleyes:
