I got an email with no return address (naturally) that called me clueless and was also TYPED IN ALL CAPS. It was taking exception to a post I made in an online community some time last year or so (can’t remember when I posted it).

To my anonymous flamer: First of all, next time leave your email address and I’ll be happy to reply to you personally. I do have your IP address, and I know your ISP and where it’s located, so you’re not really “anonymous”, you know. I’m not going to post the name of your ISP, but I have it, and it’s in Pennsylvania.

Secondly, DMOZ most certainly IS staffed by volunteers who do not get paid for their work or the time they put in. It IS an “open source” index, just as Mozilla is an open source software project.

Perhaps you should investigate your claims slightly before sending random flames to people you don’t even know. Talk about clueless.
