Not that I don't think PR 10 is deserved by DMOZ

Let's get the record straight! I am not a cheerleader and prefaced my comment with the above in an effort to head off yet another nauseatingly boring thread full of pot shots against the DMOZ. To be truthful, what I think or don't think about the DMOZ could fit into a thimble. I simply don't think about it very often.

I am not a DMOZ editor, never have been and likely never will be. The DMOZ web site and editors serve a purpose and considering that all is done voluntarily, I think they do a respectable job. Yes, we all know it has its problems ... now can we move on?

The point I was trying to make was that I felt the PR 10 was rather suspect considering the timing of the drop in Yahoo's PR and what that drop would do to all sites ... world wide and Google's PR database.

The ramifications of lowering Yahoo's PR are staggering and it is my own personal belief that Google had to "somehow" fill the void. DMOZ was a handy option. :)
