Have you been DMOZed ?

Dmozitis (noun) - An addiction, psychological in nature, to the listings at DMOZ. Suffers experience jitters & mental anguish and also exhibit outburts with the occasional profanity describing how they are not listed yet. Typical victims are naive webmasters still under the impression that dMoz was there to help them & surfers, as in the late 1990’s.

example usage: Tim has been really coming down with a bad case of dmozitis, he has 50 sites in the que.

DMOZed (verb) - The act of tricking users and webmasters that you actually care about customer service. Typical implementations include setting up website forms that work but do not actually store results, not responding to requests for service, and setting up cooresponding text indicating you care about both.

example usages:

- Man I totally DMOZed that site! ( After setting up fake contact us forms )
- I got DMOZed at McDonalds, the people didn’t even give me the coke I asked for.
