Application denied - gizmoguy

I applied to the Computers/Software/Abandonware category (http://www.dmoz.org/Computers/Software/Abandonware/) as gizmoguy. I received an e-mail saying that my application was denied, and I read through the list of common reasons why applications are denied. None of these applied to my applicaation, and then I read the reviewer comments section:

Incomplete response to "Please give details, including URLs, of any sites that you own or have designed or promoted, either in full or in part. Also, mention whether you have contributed content to any site, and give URLs as appropriate".

We are happy to accept editors who are affiliated with websites, and, in fact, most of our editors have some affiliations. However, to avoid even the appearance of a conflict of interest, we ask that editors be completely upfront about those affiliations when they apply.

I do not believe that this is a valid reason for my application to be denied, as the section response was not incomplete, but brief. I included a link to my website, and no others, but this is because I do not have any other "sites that own or have designed or promoted" or "have contributed content to". Thank you.

Ah! Just remembered, I did submit an article to Indymedia a while ago (http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2010/06/454322.html). Was this the only unmentioned site, or were there others? Thanks.

We don't discuss the details of declined editor applications here. By all means try again, but I suggest that you evaluate your new application against the email that you received before sending it.

Publishing an article on one of many article-websites does not count (atleast not for me).
We are looking for any sites you own now or have onwed in the past. (or have designed or have written content for now or in the past)

Apologies, I was unaware of this.

Well I really can't think of any other websites, making my rejection invalid. I'll just apply again.

Think really hard, and remember we're not just talking about sites you own or that are related to the category you're applying for.
