"We can't speak for your priorities. But some sites potentially have both local and global focii, and we are happy to list them twice (although, as you see, sometimes we are quicker with one or the other listing.)"

I wouldn't have submitted to two proper categories had DMOZ said it was not acceptable.

DMOZ is the largest directory on the www (no other directory comes remotely close)
DMOZ is the fastest growing dirctory on thw www (no other director comes remotely close to DMOZ's past and current growth).
That does not look like needing an overhaul.
The U.S. government is the largest goverment on the planet (no other government comes remotely close.) It and the DMOZ are inefficient, unorganized, and rife with conflicts of interest and graft (see examples above).

Question: do you perceive the DMOZ as perfect? You have yet to agree with any point offered.
