News Article Wednesday, October 27th 2004, 1:07pm EDT The Secret Life of a Female Porn Addict. "It [an addiction to pornography] was an excitement that captured me like nothing else could capture me.

When perfectly qualified web sites are rejected for no other reason than the fact the editor considers them serious competition to his or her own site, there's a serious problem. When you e-mail DMOZ about the status of your web site and don't even receive a courtesy response to your questions, there's a serious problem. When you have egotistical DMOZ editors fighting each other to have their own web sites listed, there's a serious problem. And quite frankly, I don't see how the mess DMOZ has created can be fixed. With an apparently endless backlog of web sites waiting to be approved, how can they possibly catch up. The answer is, they can't.
