Two wrongs doesn't make one right.
Why should we want to do that? We will never do any person such a favor. Remarks like this could much easier trigger me to mark your site as "please wait reviewing this site for atleast 5 years". But you are lucky. We don't punish sites for the behaviour of their owners here at R-Z, how rude that behaviour might be.
From http://dmoz.org/add.html
So your remark "You can do anything you want." is true. An editor only has to follow our guidelines (there is a big difference between guidelines and rules).
>you guys can't even contact the editor in the used machinery category and get me a review?
Exactly! You got it!
Aside from some confusion about "the editor in the category," which is a concept that doesn't correlate to reality. We have HUNDREDS of people can edit there. I'm one of them, which is how I fixed three of the problems you found.
And even if we found an editor and appointed him the daily scapegoat for these problems -- I can't tell ANY editor to do ANYTHING.
That infinite power delusion is hard to get past. For non-editors, that is. For editors, when you actually get to work, it goes sort of foggy. When you realize that all you control is your own fingers and eyes, it starts to dissipate. And when you look around and see half-a-dozen groups of editors organizing and coordinating (on their own initiative) to clean up your messes (or "improve your prior work up to current standards") (yes, been there, done that, would have gotten scars on my ego if I didn't keep it in a safe place) -- then it completely vanishes.

Indeed - we're volunteers. The other side of that coin is that we don't have to do things that we don't want to do.
Posting here does not have any effect upon when your website will be reviewed. We merely provide status reports.
No amount of cajoling or suggestions that we're incompetent or even abusive is going to get your website a faster review. It'll happen when an editor volunteers to do it and not before. It's unlikely to be anybody who's read this thread. - few editors do nowadays
The conversation has become frustrating for you and for us and is achieving nothing but the consumption of resources which could be better used editing. Lets quietly allow this thread to lie fallow until you're eligible for a further status report.
<added> That would be after June 14th </added>

Suggesting that hutcheson is not telling the truth isn't helpful. Please be aware that it takes a finite time for changes to propagate around all our public facing servers.
I'm now enforcing that. You'll be able to post again after June 16th."jimnoble" said:
