My thing here is to persuade some of you chaps to join them in using your local directory

I thought we were talking about "a new and improved competitor to DMOZ," not local directories. Local directories aren't competing with DMOZ; they're competing with search engines and the phone book. (How many people go to DMOZ when they're looking up a local nightclub, restaurant, optician, or hardware store?)
