Before this thread takes another step in any direction let me make this perfectly clear: The days of the devolution, degradation or "spinning out" of ODP threads in the Directory Forum is over. In that regard I would appreciate everyone's cooperation, when it comes to DMOZ threads, if everyone helps to keep the thread focused on the original issue framed framed by the OP.

If someone wants to raise a new or related issue please do so by starting a new thread. I know it can be a P.I.T.A. to deal with pre-mod but you all know there are good reasons for it.

I personally appreciate the fact that anyone who volunteers their time editing for the ODP ALSO volunteers to spend time posting here in an effort to explain their view and experience and their interpretation of DMOZ rules and procedures. The fact that any editor posts is not the same as a statement of ODP policy and we're not going to use any editor's post as the jumping off point to debate general ODP policy or general pratices. At best the statements posted here are any one editor's attempt, amongst some 70,000 editors, to explain an action that some other editor has taken or failed to take.

Let's stop beating up on the guys and gals who are kind enough to serve double duty, in volunteering to work for the ODP and volunteering to answer questions at WebmasterWorld.
