Jeffnova the arguement is a little sterile. It goes you prove that this does exost and the reply no you prove that what you say exists.

Truth is that whilst many people assert ODP is corrupt, they still want to be listed, many willing to pay for that despite the penalty of being banned if caught. But few are ever willing to tell us how much they paid and to whom. And check on those who have been listed, suddenly ODP is the best thing since sliced bread.

Personally I don't understand the fuss. Google updates its directory, byt as far as I can see, uses little ODP material in its search results. Yes ODP gets back links, but Google blots that out. Some claim a high level of traffic others none, could that just be reflecting how good the site is? No the myth continues that ODP has a powerful influence, but I don't believe a word of it.

But hey sorry that you got chucked out from editing jeffnova, does leave a bad taste in the mouth.
