According to me, its easier to get a PhD from MIT, IIT combine than getting DMOZ listed.
Anyways coming back to the main topic, i would suggest the poster to concentrate on design aspects of his website and not worry about directories.
Funny thing is, my website shows up above a site (DMOZ listed) in google search for all those keywords that matter to my website area.
So, ignore dmoz for the moment and the more time you spent on tuning your website following ethical means, the better your website shows up on google.
Luck plays a major role in listing with DMOZ
