My question to supporter of DMOZ is how come an organization that as a matter of policy does not feel that it needs to respond to anyone or justify any decision when it comes to it's critics, it requires that they have to justify and prove every and any statement?
This may be only a small example but as a matter of policy I do not feel that I need to respond to any webmaster or site I do not feel meets my criteria for linking. As a matter of fact I really don't have to even provide any kind of guidelines for them to do so. Granted my tiny corner of the WWW is not given any where near the weight the DMOZ is. I would suspect when it comes to your site, the same is true. I don't feel the DMOZ is really any different. They not only set their criteria they tell you how to meet their criteria rather clearly and consisely. Problems? Sure always going to be problems with any organization whether it's an organization of 1 or 1 million. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the DMOZ is not a government agency, and not a publically held corporation. I'm not sure why they should be expected to give me, you or anyone else for that matter a justification for anything.
