I'm sick and tired of people comparing volunteering with the ODP with volunteering at places like the Red Cross, especially when you do it without having done at least a minor amount of research here in this forum for other threads in which people have done the same thing. For crying out loud, people. Get a grip. It's a Web directory. That's it, that's all.
theantiguru, if you've got nothing better to do with your time than to bitch about the ODP, I'll thank you to please go somewhere else to do it. I'm sure you won't have trouble finding somewhere suitable.
