Sorry jimnoble, I guess I did not understand.

Am I to understand that the DMOZ is an application, running on a couple of boxes at AOL, and AOL is totally responsible for the Development (or lack thereof) of the application, all of the system & database administration, backups & procedures for recovery, and the editors are pretty much clueless on how any of it works, & are just a private club of users, and AOL is in charge of everything and totally to blame for the outage?

If that is the case, my bad! No chance it will hurt AOL’s rep, it cannot get much worse.

(either way, if the backup/restore issue has not been resolved, it will happen again, not a question of if, a question of when)

Back to watching (I already spent more time thinking about this thread, then I did when I submitted my site to the project years ago)
