---- Effects of DMOZ removal

There might be some small value (I question this also, but..) in the links.

However there is almost no value in the directory itself. There are many reasons - outdated and irrelevant listings, no quality control at all (and no way for users to rate links or sites), etc etc etc. It has all been hashed out here before.

We have 2 listings in DMOZ, been there for years (for 2 different sites). I just did a log search for past 3 months on the main one, and I see a grand total of 2 hits from DMOZ (compared to millions from the major SE's).
