Dead link In http://www.dmoz.org/Sports/Tennis/Instruction/

"Give it a Go Tennis Academy - Provides coaching, partner matching, and a tennis league. Based in Westville, South Africa."

The co.za WHOIS says "WARNING: Domain has been suspended - will be deleted as per the accounts schedule"

Since this category does not have an editor, and no new links have been added in the last 2+ years, and I seem to be the only one who keeps reporting dead links in it, I don't understand why I keep getting rejected when I apply to be an editor there (or at an even more obscure part of /Sports/Tennis).

I am following the "guidelines" in the application form, I am not planning an elaborate scam by reporting dead links for two year, in hopes to take over /Sports/Tennis/Instruction/ (which no one seems to maintain anymore).

Your interest in quality control is much appreciated, and we hope you will continue to help the project in this way.

I have not seen your previous applications, but every rejection is accompanied by general or specific comments, so there should be no confusion about why you have been unsuccessful.

I am pleased to report that numerous additions and improvements have indeed been made in the last 2 years, most recently in March 2008, because although there is no listed editor, there are about 200 volunteers who can edit there, according to time and interest.
