Thanks for your input.

I did, in fact, post my major reasons for signing up to be an editor with OPD and joeant.com - my primary reason was NOT just to help my own sites. I just wanted to know if there might be a corollary benefit by participating.

I did not appreciate the reply that was basically another DMOZ bashing and not an answer to my question - I think there's another forum for that, right?

But I appreciate your time in preparing a response.
