Hi!

While searching:

http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/North_.../Business_and_Economy/Computers_and_Internet/


I encountered the following issues I wanted to bring to your attention:


Inappropriate Content For Category. This Mambo, open source oriented site is inappropriate for the category and is owned by another company listed in same category (AshlandHome).

PureGeek - Computer consultants specializing in repair & troubleshooting, virus/spyware removal, tutoring, & wireless networking.

The "Contact Us" page lists puregeek's address as:


123 First St. #1
Ashland
OR
USA
97520​

A little farther down the same "Contact Us" page is the message:

PureGeek the company has joined forces with Ashland Home Net and we can be found at www(dot)ashlandhome(dot)net​

AshlandHome's homepage lists their address as :

Office Hours and Location:
123 N. First, Suite 1
Ashland, Oregon 97520
Monday-Friday: 9am-5pm​

So, puregeek, a site inappropriate for this category is also controlled by another company listed in this category AshlandHome.


Regards,
NCMan

Ethics of an Editor

I've recently discovered that an editor sells websites and optimization to business specific to my industry. I've been waiting to be listed for over a year and now he can sneak all his customers in.

Is this fair?

RE: 3294 -- you really need to give us specifics (i.e. what sites are not listable or have problems), not just the category path.

1)
The website called sincityvip has only one parked page listed under
http://dmoz.org/Regional/North_Amer...as_Vegas/Business_and_Economy/Event_Planning/

2) Under the same category "El Caribe" listing and "mbassy Terrace" listing redirecting to avictorias.com which was already listed under
http://dmoz.org/Regional/North_Amer..._and_Economy/Event_Planning/Weddings/Chapels/

3) You Name It Events listing gave me an error "The connection has timed out" , not sure on this one, the server may not be responding well.

Thank you
