I know my submission is hanging around in the "misplaced" folder, but I also know that misplaced sites can bounce around in dmoz for years if they end up in categories that are not edited and if it is not transparent where they should be placed.
can anyone recommend a UK (or otherwise) Dial-up ISP that will let you submit successfully to dmoz?
Thanks for any help, apologies to any dmoz editors for my 15 contributions to the misplaced queue :(

But... there are really two kinds of "Misplaced" folders. One is for EDITORS to send sites that the SUBMITTER misplaced.
The other is for the SOFTWARE to drop sites with the IP problem. They are kept separate, and your submittal goes into the latter.
Which IS heavily edited, by me and others. We do a quick look to see if the site is obvious spam (delete!), obviously misplaced (may go directly to a better category, or may go to the FIRST misplaced folder -- in either case, without waiting in the wrong queue for who knows how long), or likely to be almost correctly misplaced (in which case we just send it on.
Every now and then we actually list a site immediately, if it piques our curiosity -- but don't count on that.
Really, you don't need to resubmit, and it probably won't speed things up much if you do. If you submit to a badly-chosen, heavily-submitted, lightly-edited category, the "IP NOT FOUND" is the best thing that could possibly happen.
