DMOZ — yet another flame war

My latest thoughts about DMOZ and the ODP may be found in this blog comment thread.

The gist is:

Or something like that. As I said, it’s a flame war …

    Oh no! The horrors! πŸ™‚

    The good news is that I’m sitting here on a lovely beach watching the pounding surf.

    The bad news is that the main reason we bought a timeshare on this particular beach is the calm, clear waters that make for wonderful walk-in snorkeling. Hurricane Felix is screwing that up a bit this time …

    Speaking of which, the thunderbolts have gotten close again, and I think I shall go indoors for a while …
