Removed DMOZ Listing

I had a site that was listed...but it was removed. Is there any way to find out when and why a site was removed?

Try asking on http://www.resource-zone.com/, but make sure yout post in the right section.

Thanks,

The registration form for resource-zone had big warnings saying the forum was not for individual posts. Of course, if wasn't blinded by the registration screen, I would have seen a humongous forum of individual queries.

Apparently, someone didn't like the fact that I have the top spot in Google for "Diagonal Method." So they removed the page from the listings. (The article has--gasp--intuitionalist mathematics--you know--like Poincare, Heyting and Popper) Anyway, the editors were extremely polite and put my site in the pseudo science section with the creationists and flat earthers and anyone considered a crank. I am kind of proud of my new spot now, it is much better company.

I guess it doesn't matter where a site is in DMOZ, so long as it is listed. Hmmm, I will probably get more hits in the crank section. I've never seen DMOZ in the referrer log.

You're right, it's a really fun place to be. I just discovered there is an Indian version of Fung Shui.

Sort of reminds me of the story about the Hotel Universe, which has an infinite number of rooms all of which are occupied. An large spaceship arrives with an infinite number of paseengers. So we move all the guests from the room there are in, to the room number which is double their number, leaving all the odd number room empty. Problem solved ... or is it.

Boy, you got me thinking about infinite hotels. I hadn't given the infinite hotel argument much thought. It is like the question of how many angels can dance on the tip of a pin.

Anyway, the infinite hotel is a good example of what is wrong with transfinite theory, so I added an article called Al's Infinite Hotel.

Thanks Mr. SEO Rat for the inspiration. Of course it is a strange world where the people who recite the infinite hotel proof are considered real mathematicians and those who refute are called quacks.

The one thing I am worried about is that Google might some day give negative points for sites in the Quack directory, just like they are talking about moving all the blogs into blog heaven (out of the main index).
