Jay,
Yeah- DMOZ is a PITA. A site of mine that was submitted 1 YEAR ago and confirmed to be in the correct category is still 'in the que'.
I'm not sure why Google would penalize people for being listed though- that makes no sense.
Hand checking without massive amounts of people and money is not very useful in Internet time.
I never really understood the hand check deal anyways. Once you are in the directory your site is in. They don't check it like once a month to make sure it's still the same- they couldn't.
So, a site that was submitted and accepted a couple years ago could be and probably *is* a totally different site today.
Unless the site is monitored every so often hand checking to get into a category means virtually nothing. At least, I don't understand the rational for it. <shrug>
