I submitted http://www.deadprotocol.com to the following category some time ago, and was just wondering what the status was. I know you folks are busy, just when you have time:

http://www.dmoz.org/Arts/Online_Writing/Non-Fiction/

Thanks!

p.s. - I applied to volunteer and never heard back, if anyone wants to review the application, I'd be happy to help out!

It's not waiting there, and there's no record of editor activity. You may resubmit.

Can someone check it out yet?

I resubmitted http://www.deadprotocol.com to the following category in August, http://www.dmoz.org/Arts/Online_Writing/Non-Fiction/

Has someone had a chance to look at it yet?

Thanks!

Hutch was pointing out in his succinct style what you probably already knew. October 21st isn't usually considered to be within August and that the month you were asked to wait before asking again isn't up until Saturday .

I looked up when posting and saw 'August' as a post date, which was, I guess, my join date, not post. All in all, though, a few days plus or minus shouldn't be cause for a response that I would refer to as smarmy, or smart-alecky, rather than 'succinct'.

Just get back in line quietly, and the kindergarten teacher won't keep being mean to you.

It must be a heavy burden to volunteer to review sites for the directory without actually reviewing the sites. The weight of delaying and insulting strangers that only want a legitimate moment of a volunteer's time must play havoc with one's very being. If it is that hard for him to be polite he shouldn't volunteer.

I'll leave now, and I won't look back. I understand why, though, it takes years for a 10 page site to get reviewed around here, though.

Hutch is not being mean or rude. He is only adding a little color to a somewhat dull forum.

In any case, the above quote gave you specific instructions in a very polite manner yet you ignored them or forgot about it. So please check back on or after 11-21-04. Sticking to the forum guidelines really helps all those who are trying to help you here.
