These standards are designed to ensure that the dialogue on the Site is credible, responsible, intelligent and informative.

However, by setting out the above guidelines, we hope to raise the credibility of the discussion and foster a spirit of open, honest exchanges of information.

If an author has a business relationship with a company named in an article that he or she has authored, that relationship must be fully and accurately disclosed.
