Would like to say "thank you"...

Submitted a site on the 26th nov, it was looked at less than 24 hours later by an Editor, and today it is in the Dmoz directory. And it was submitted to a cat that has no editor!

Thank you very much to the Dmoz Editor (whoever you are) who cleaned up that particular Cat <img src="/images/icons/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Thanks for taking the time out to mention it. I have no idea what the site is, or who dealt with it; I guess you hit it lucky with an active editor, or a category that just happened to be visited today. The directory has around 3000 to 4000 sites added every single day. No category is completely editorless though. If there is no named editor, then anyone in categories directly above that one can edit there, as can anyone with the Editall, or Meta Editor title. So every category has at least 100 people that could edit there. However, most like to stick to their area of expertise, rather then edit anywhere and anything: just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

Glad to hear that you had such a positive experience. I have been trying for a year with no success and no feedback from the mails that I have sent to the editor. I finally found out about this site by ringing Netscape (an international call) and now it has been resubmitted by an editor who could see no reason that it shouldn't be listed. It isn't there yet though, but at least I now have a little hope.

Strange how the experiences can be so widely different and how much such things can affect a person.

Well...it's not all good <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" alt="" /> I have another two sites waiting, one of which has been 7 months (which is a bit worrying as I know it's been visited by a Dmoz Ed), and the other is about 3 weeks (not concerned about that one)...

But I was pleasantly surprised that the third site was added so quickly... <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />
