So let's just get what you are saying absolutely straight, digitalghost:

Corruption and financial inducements are so endemic within the ODP that you feel able to advise another WW member to use this as a valid business tactic for submission of his site in a certain category - a category which is incidentally edited by fellow WW members amongst others.

The corruption is so pervasive, you imply, that there is no risk in finding a rare honest editor because you just have to go up the next level until you find a corrupt editor (presumably the honest editor has nowhere to turn to to report this approach).

Despite the severe concerns that this would raise about not just the ODP, but the motives for posts made here by WW members who are ODP editors, you presumably are not willing to provide any evidence to back up your allegations because it would destroy your "secret advantage".

Once again we see a DMOZ thread descend into paranoid fantasy....
