changing title on ODP

Is there any way to update how they have written up your title and category in Dmoz? I've been through the update URL bit to no avail.
They insist on listing our site as Gary Ward Oak Forest Realty when the site is Great Carolina Property. My husband hangs his shingle at Oak Forest but his company name is still Great Carolina Property and I don't want to use his name as the keyword. The way it is listed now is so deep he can't be found in a searh on the directory and I've tried several times to write them to update it. Am I out of options? I think it was registered that way 4 years ago when someone else had built his site. Since then we have changed servers and content yet they seem to refuse to correct this. Susan

If the name of the company is actually "Great Carolina Property" then they really should be listing it under that name. It is a very keyword type name and this is most likely the reason why they insist using the owners name.

Suggestion 1 would be to try again and use the "Describe the nature of your changes" text box on the update page to explain that the company name is actually legaly registered as "Great Carolina Property" and that it should be listed with this for for legal reasons.

If that fails, my suggestion is to go to www.resource-zone.org (just remember to come back here!!) and explain this very situation to the editors over there. Hopefully one of tham will either make the changes or notify the editor of your category to make those changes. If that fails, then I'm outta ideas .. perhaps a large check made out to "Mr. ODP Editor" ?? tee hee

Thanks I'll try the other forum but don't worry I call this forum home. I don't have time to follow them all!
