We probably could, but we would need a clickable link to the ODP category where the site was submitted, as requested in the Forum Guidelines (at the top of this forum, marked "READ BEFORE POSTING"). This isn't just an artificial rule; if we don't know where to look for the site suggestion, we are unable to check for you.

Did you read the forum guidelines lachenm mentioned? If you haven't, please do.

Please wait at least a month between status checks (i.e. until after October 25).

Hi,
My last status check was August 25. Has there been any movement since then?
Thanks.

Is that the final word from dmoz? Obviously, I don't feel that way, having worked quite hard to provide some useful content not available anywhere else and wholly independent from the HypnoSoft product.

Eschatology isn't our bag, man: just ontology. But IMO there is no question whatsoever that the site shouldn't be listed currently. It's definitely what we call an "doorway site". There's no reason someone couldn't make a site (even using that same domain) with listable content: but so long as the main purpose of the site is to drive customers to the other site, we call it an "affiliate doorway" -- and refer you to the submittal policies for how and where not to submit it.

[The following free public-service technical notice is completely independent of any considerations related to ODP editing and/or listings.]

As an entirely separate issue, you might want to look at your second page with a browser that actually complies with the W3C standards for MIME types, because your server's giving out as "text/plain" a file that purports to contain HTML markup. (Server configuration issue, or perhaps missing extension on file name?)

(The Infernal Exploder, in a typically Microsoftian flagrant violation of the standard HTTP protocol, tends to ignore the MIME type in favor of your local system's "file type binding" (which in my experience sometimes has no relationship whatsoever with the server's file type list) and/or its best guess of the doctype (based on some rather careless parsing of anything that looks vaguely SGML'ish, which can also be pretty poor.) If you didn't review the site with a real browser, you would have missed that.)

Thanks for the information about the second page. It looks normal in my IE, but I'll certainly try to correct whatever is wrong. Thanks again.

Hi. I've made the suggested changes, including removal of the commercial advertisement, and re-submitted. Thanks so much for your help.
