I just like to say that DMOZ is one important example of how the human species shows some hope of being able to leap frog this stagnate period of of adolescent social structure and move beyond the self-destructive, "every person for him/her self" way of thinking.

I certainly hope dmoz doesn't go under and if it does then it is because it is replaced with a better example of altruism on the web. I remember a few years back before commerce hit the web when the internet community that existed back then saw the possibility of a united world with philanthropic ideals, sharing information and communicating freely across borders without the clouding over of these ideals with commerce. DMOZ is a product of these early visionaries. For people to say "away with DMOZ" is like saying, "away with experiments on the Internet where people do other things for the global community without financial compensation!"

I know webmasterworld's main audience are the internet entrepreneurs (myself included). One thing we can't allow ourselves to get caught up in is just how to make more money regardless of what gets trampled on.

DMOZ? 50,000 volunteers? - an example of what humans are capable of - I say.
