---- What went wrong with my dmoz application?

Hi there..

I applied for dmoz editorship for six times over the span of three months, I got rejected every time, but no complains as every time they gave me a acceptable reason what went wrong. From those mistakes I improved and applied again two times recently. The first time they gave me reason to decline was I have not fully disclosed my affiliated sites, that was correct, so I submitted a new application with three fresh sample urls, with the names of other sites where I have contributed by any means including mine. After few days I found my request has been again rejected so I checked it, and I was amazed to see that the editor review is the exact copy of previous time.

The way I submit sample urls is as follows;

(1)Submitted in a category with 61 sites there.
(2)The title of sites were the name of the site for example;
---Domain: x-widget.com
---Title: X Widget
(3)The description were no longer than two sentence, mostly one. And in closely dmoz style.

In the future I may apply again but I have few queries;

(1)If a particular dmoz editor is unlikely to approve you and you change the category which you applied for, will it be sent for review to a different editor?
(2)If a category has more than two editor what are the chances of getting selected for that category.
(3)Do they use auto responder for review?

If anyone has answer to these questions please share...
