Well, you guys can agree to disagree there--maybe it is important for some of you, but not for others. But from the ODP perspective, it's always completely irrelevant whether you think it's important or not.

And from your point of view, it STILL ought to be irrelevant whether you think it's important or not, since (fortunately for the surfers) it's not something you can control.

But is it important enough to spend ten minutes finding the correct category, and suggesting the site once? (that's a very low standard, so the answer is probably "yes" for almost everyone.)

Then is it important to risk a permanent ban by engaging in abusive attempts to "get" listed, despite the ODP standards and/or in front of other sites? (we'll do our best to make sure that the answer is and remains "no" for everyone.)

Which should keep the whole question very simple, for all practical purposes.
