Does my removal sound temporary.. or am I out of luck?

Hello,
We've been listed for years, and looking back.. I should have left well enough alone.
I began directing traffic to the non-www version of our site last fall, and also set up a 301 permanent redirect on our website.
Stupidly, I messed with my DMOZ listing to reflect this change by trying the 'Update Listing' for this minor correction. After no changes were processed, in mid-December I submitted a 'Suggest A Site'. Now, sadly, my site was removed completely, and I'm kicking myself for this. Essentially, I messed with the Holy Grail of listings to change one minor thing, and now I've lost my listing altogether.

Am I out of luck? Can I file for a reconsideration? Maybe the editor assumed I was a spammer when I did the 'Suggest A Site' when I already had a visible listing. Maybe the title of my Reconsideration could be 'Not spammer, just idiot.' Or perhaps this is just temporary, which is what I'm hoping.

Also, for several weeks now, I can type my web address in the search box and it shows it in the category it was always in - but when I click to go to the category and view it, it's not listed. Any suggestions (besides crying, and waiting possibly years)?
Thanks for reading. :)

Hi, I looked into this, it was some kind of bug, now fixed - Using "Update Listing" was correct for a redirect, "Suggest a Site" not. :)

Ok, I figured that would be the case; that the Update Listing would have been the correct route. Thanks for your reply, Elper!
