DMOZ Editors Are JERKS ?

Not all of them, but it seems more may be than are not:

What's that old saying - absolute power currupts absolutely...

Really, how important is Dmoz anyway, I have NEVER
searched for ANYTHING off their directory and since they
do nothing special ( like additional user services ) I wouldn't
even know they existed if I weren't building a web based biz.

I absolutely approached them with the best intentions and
I didn't try to spam or abuse them or anything, but I found
that at least many peoples additude at dmoz frick'en sucks
big fat black sloppy donkey dingdong

So why are these guys on their HIGH HORSE ?

... and how important is dmoz to the big picture ?

... and more importantly, is dingdong one word or two ?

DMOZ listings don't help directly, a good listing might bring 100 uniques a month (but mostly from webmasters looking for link exchanges). More importantly, it's an authority backlink that also gets you in the Google directory and on a couple hundred scraper sites.

I really do not understand why I have been waiting for months to get listed and I do not know what i can do to make sure that I do get listed.

I have avoided their forums becuase I have heard they get real rude when you question them.

I really need the feed to Google and the rest...

Yes, DMOZ does help. But the original poster was right, the editors are corrupt and i've heard that they take money to get listings in there. I got an email from a guy on a yahoo address that said he could get my listing into the DMOZ for 300 dollars. He said he would put it there and then i could pay him. The proof was in the listing. They all suck and i wish DMOZ as well as Google would go away. This whole PR thing sucks! It's not about your site anymore, it's about what other sites think about your site. 100% totally stupid and i can't believe we are all just running around trying to increase are PR's. Ridiculas!

Its really pathetic the way a great concept like DMOZ is being destroyed by a few rotten apples. Time for a overhaul methinks.
