I have no interest in having my sites in the directory, it's simply the link from the associated PR6/7 pages that I want. I have no idea what the editors actually do, but whatever it is it clearly isn't reviewing sites.
You are not the only one waiting for your site to be approved. It is an open human edited directory based on volunteers work. I am also waiting for a review and inclusion since December 2007.

It is too easy to blame others, instead of accepting our mistakes.

So my advise would be to take easy.
