Google Dmoz description in SERPS

[DavidS-282061]

My dmoz description is not as KW rich as my sites normal description.  IS there an advantage or disadvantage to either?

If so,  How do I prevent google from doing this?

Add a meta tag as or

That will do it for you.

Google's resource for this:

Thanks - ANY idea on what is better for rankings? Let it fly - or put this tag in?

Sometimes, if you have put in a short and less keyword oriented description at DMOZ, you would like to replace it with an optimized snippet (although, you cannot fully control what Google shows as snippet: it maybe your meta description or excerpts from your body content).

If you feel your DMOZ snippet serves you well, you can let it be.
