--- FRIEDA2133 at aol.com wrote to me as follows; I'm posting this to the whole list because I think it is of legitimate interest and it contains as far as I can see nothing personal or confidential. >>>>> Hi David and Mark, I hope I am not repeating myself again. I remember sending an email to Mark about cracksandshards.com not being on the author search or rather hiding there with the old address, but I think I did not send one to David. Do you know if either of you have submitted dragaera.info or www.dreamcafe.com to dmoz Open Directory Project? <<<<< Thank you, first for the information about the site and second for nagging me. I had not submitted Cracks and Shards, but I am doing so now. Dmoz.com speaks of "your site", so it seems to me that David should submit dragaera.info, and Steve should submit Dream Cafe, or maybe Corwin can do it with a note from Steve saying "I authorize this because I'm too lazy or busy to do it myself", or some such. >>>>> http://dmoz.org/cgi-bin/add.cgi?where=Arts/Literature/Genres/Fantasy/Authors/B/Brust,_Steven It says dmoz eventually feeds some search engines, like google's. http://directory.google.com/alpha/Top/Arts/Literature/Genres/Fantasy/Authors/B/Brust,_Steven/ www.dreamcafe.com is on yahoo's http://dir.yahoo.com/Arts/Humanities/Literature/Authors/Science_Fiction_and_Fantasy/Brust__Steven/ Yahoo doesn't seem to be fed from dmoz because the same seven sites are not on it. <<<<< -- Mark A.
