My understanding according to the rules of DMOZ submission is that you can not resubmit (which is the only way to edit the information about our site submitted).

Well like I said. We are going to leave this topic of DMOZ submission alone because we sense from your tone of voice that there is a lack of resources as noted.

Resources have nothing to do with it. Editors are not 'forced' to use the sites suggested by the public. We look at site suggestions as one of many resources for building a category. An editor could quite happily build-out a category without ever looking at the sites suggested by the public.

I think saying

Is NOT 100% likely. I understand the point that editing is a volunteer activity, and editors come and go as they see fit. Given the sheer volume of the directory unless ODP has "X" number of editors per category: It is highly unlikely (without machine intervention) that every subjected listing could be addressed, even if ODP wanted too. In addition, to the editor aspect, AOL isn't exactly being very forthcoming with technical assistance to ODP. It is true AOL has many other issues they must contend with that take precedent. Lastly what exactly is the primary goal of ODP? Just doing a quick search of almost any category it becomes clear that, Some sites have been hijacked, don't exist, or contain more advertising than content. What happened to the quality listings of DMOZ? With the amount of poor content listings present, I think it would be very difficult to justify ODP isn't low on resources. As an outsider looking in I can only explain ODP in the following manner. It is like all of you (ODP staff) are inside a burning building which is ready to collapse but; everyone is carrying on as though the fire doesn't exist. It is quite bizarre to be honest.

It is, in the context of reviewing public submissions to the directory. We don't require editors to work on specific tasks, as I said in my previous post, if an editor chooses to go out and find sites to list using other resources that is perfectly fine. We could have X amount of editors and all X of those editors could choose not to use the public submissions as a method to build the categories they work on.

Trying to measure things by editors per category does not really work for DMOZ. An editor listed at Arts/Photography can edit any category below that point. So Arts/Photography/Digital might appear to have no editors, but anyone with permissions to edit Arts/Photography or Arts/ can edit there.

I think it would be very difficult to justify ODP isn't low on resources.
My comment above was specifically aimed at resources and the speed at which public site suggestions are reviewed. In the context of the whole directory, we are always looking for new editors, the more editors we have the quicker the directory will grow and develop.
