Alphawolf - I think I had mentioned up somewhere earlier on this thread that I suspected that Google may be severing ties with DMOZ.

I'm sure there is a DMOZ editor or two that will read this and get pissed, but if you think about it - why would anyone spend time reviewing websites if they didn't have an interest at stake...like adding as many their own sites into it as possible.

I've even head of, since only DMOZ editors can approve other DMOZ editors, they will apply to themselves with another email address, approve themselves, and then be controling new cats.

The only way that whole thing could be done fairly is if they paid people that had no interest in the industry they are approving sites for - but then that's just yahoo...
