I am far from convinved that this is the best method for submission to DMOZ, for teh following reasons
1. You have said earlier to use a title other than site title, that would not get through as a listing in DMOZ and would tend to delay any listing it might get
2. If the site is not submitted to the right category, and I would have thought that the webmaster was the best person outside DMOZ to determine that, the site will almost certainly be delayed for review, because any reviewing editor will send it to the correct category and it will end up in another queue.
3. DMOZ look for automatic submissions and the sites can be brabded as spam, if so it will be banned.
4. Submissions should only be made once to DMOZ and if several submissions are made, by bots or by hand, the site can be listed as spam and banned.
Also it is worth noting that any submissions to DMOZ, automated or by hand are only suggestions. Editors may or may not use the submissions/suggestions lists if they wish. Getting a submission to DMOZ does, in my view, increase the chances of being reviewd and then listed but it far from guarantees it and certainly no one can say how long it will take for a site to be reviewed.
Why use a submissions service for DMOZ when you as the webmaster are more likely to get the correct category, correct title and be able to add a descrption in line with other descriptions in that category, and you can control how many submissions ie stick at ONE. That way you have a better chance than anyone else doing it and it is FREE.
Do the worthwhile directory yourself and then you can make sure your valuable site is where it should be.
