But what would happen if someone submitted your site every day to some search engines? "Rule of thumb is once every 30 days". I have also heard war stories as to where someone emailed an editor of DMOZ complaining about their site not being updated or something like that everyday till the site was removed, only to find out it was not their site. Not sure if the last one is really true for it was being talking about on IRC.

DMOZ editors are usually smarter than that. They may be slow to act, but when they do, they *generally* investigate thoroughly.

Ethical means you know what ethical is without having to ask stupid questions.

I'm of the mind that there are no stupid questions. Sometimes it is very hard to see the forest for the trees. Our discussion of
whether it's ethical to sell links helped me to see where it is unethical and where it's not.
We can always learn something new, even going over old ideas. It's always possible to see things in a new light.
