Some in the community would actually prefer that Google drop DMOZ and end the courtship. Thanks Rob for setting the record straight. :-)

The site had been banned because the webmaster offered a bribe to list it. . If someone decides "I'll list my buddies site despite the fact that he's banned for corrupt practices" it hardly begs a comparison to Martin Luther. Somehow I thought the web community wanted Dmoz to police its own and avoid bribes and such. . As for his claims he was canned without warning by some roving meta-thugs, we hear that from every editor that gets canned. I've edited there almost since the beginning and the largest population screaming about corruption are guys that got kicked out for practicing it. . Just thought I'd pass it on. I'm not a meta, I just get tired of the silly protestations of innocence from those that know better.
