Default Re: DMOZ

OK so now I don't feel so bad about my site not being accepted yet. I've been waiting at least 6 months. After reading this thread, I'm not so disappointed. If this is the kind of operation it is, I need to "consider the source."

DMOZ is one of the biggest jokes going as some snot nose kid who doesnt have a clue can control a whole category just because he/she was first to accept it. There is no screening process for the editors so some 10 year old can be controlling a category that they know nothing about.
As a search engine forget it unless you want totally biased useless sites that promote the site editor.
