It will save all of us time if we simply identify which sign rules each website, and let people look up their own status:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Aries: Ambition is commendable, but doomed to frustration if you do not work within the limits of the submission guidelines. It is unlikely that every page of your site will be listed, or that two pages will be listed in the same category, or that it will be listed in every category to which it has some vaque relevance. Continue to strive for quality in finding the SINGLE BEST matching category.

Taurus: Your attachment to the site which you spent so long lovingly crafting is commendable, but it does blind you to the fact that all of your content is already available from sites already listed. Your logical side, if you'd only listen to it, wisely recommends a trip to PPC-land or other commercial advertising venues for what is, after all, merely lovingly crafted advertising.

Gemini: Cleverness is a talent, not a virtue: and society is benefited by neither, but only by good work skillfully done. Ultimately, you will be rewarded better for a small, original work than for a great deal of clever concealment of your plagiarism.

Cancer: Small steps from category to category bring your site closer to its ultimate goal. But it is still uncertain what that goal shall be.

Leo: The stars shine on your efforts, from henceforthward people all over the net will be openly directed to them.

Virgo: You are truly dedicated to the public good, but subject to conflicting pressures and messages. Now is the time to open yourself to the direction of some worthy cooperative effort, preferably involving focus on the celestial qualities of glowing phosphors, and providing guidance through the ethereal world of the internet.

Libra: The stars no doubt speak clearly, but their interpreters may be obscure. No light can be shed on your website today. Continued submission to the fates is necessary.

Scorpio: Persistance is a moral virtue, but a social vice. The internet is a technical medium but a social construct. Beware the social consequences of committing a moral virtue in a technical medium.

Sagittarius: Well-begun may be half-done, but half-full is also half-empty. An unfinished project is not a product. If you take the second step of a journey before the first, you will trip over your own feet.

Capricorn: Patience is a virtue. In a category plagued with many and vicious submissions, your website must needs be virtuous indeed.

Aquarius: You're wise, knowledgeable, and possessed of innumerable invaluable talents. Yet you waste time typing irrelevant drivel in the forums again, just because the dmoz.org server is down. Why?

Pisces: Your qualities are not appreciated by all; indeed, your own virtues threaten the selfish editor's status. Only by full and open disclosure to more experienced editors can you avoid being malevolently suppressed.

Aquarius probably describes me the best, but actually I'm Gemini. I did win the 'Most Persistant Forum Poster' award at the last Mozzies, you know <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" alt="" />.

I know arkoid. I was going to say something much meaner, but then I remembered most people reading this don't know we're friends! <img src="/images/icons/grin.gif" alt="" />
