I'm sorry I pick on you martty, but you came here with a lot of answers and gave a lot of advice to all those who submitted sites. You also gave a lot of insight on what an editors side looks like.

I am not behind the "editor panel" so to speak. I tell it like it is from the webmaster's perspective because that's who i am. I'm also a smart ass and i'm glad you toughed through it all - but i wanted you to understand where this perception comes from, that all sites submitted will be reviewed at least once: from the dmoz website itself.

The best way to shut me up was to show me where in the guidelines it says that an editor reserves the right to review a site at their own discretion and may choose not to exercise that right altogether and fill the listing through other means. Something along those lines.

I DO appreciate the input you give to all the posters, not just myself; every bit counts to understand what happens.

I'd still appreciate it if you could take a look at my own website, I sent it to you through private message - of which you might be getting a whole bunch since you started dishing out answers for this thread.

I'd just like to keep my ties to certain sites private. all sites actually.

so with all that said, thanks martty.
