DHMO.org
Has someone taken responsibility for the content of this Web site?
Yes, Tom Way

Can you contact the company or author through a real world postal address or phone number?
No, None of the contact information was on the homepage of the site.

Are there any links to in-depth information about the author or organization?
Yes, There is some other in depth links on the sidebar for more information about the site, but not about the author

Is the information biased in any way?
No, Does not stress any opinion. Stresses the need to learn about Di hydrogen Monoxide.

Is emotion used as a means of persuasion?
No, It more stresses the need to discuss and learn about the gas

Does the site clearly state the topics that it intends to address?
Yes, Very clear. In the name of the website and all over the homepage is nothing but information about Di hydrogen Monoxide.

Is it important that the information you're looking for be absolutely current?
Yes, because it deals with a gas. New sciences could come out with new findings on this gas periodically

Is a reference date provided to show when the material was put online, or when it was last updated?
Yes, A date is submitted on the homepage to declare what date it was updated

Do the links work?
Yes, the links do work

Can I get the information faster offline?
Yes, If a person were to look through the encyclopedia for this such information it would difficult to find much credible information on this subject unless you were looking in a science book of some kind.

Does the online material I'm finding suit my needs?
In a way, It answers some simple questions about what it is and the FAQ's on Di hydrogen Monoxide, but still doesn't declare that I can trust the information on the site.
Am I able to verify this information?
Yes, by looking into other sites you could verify that this information is correct, but just from this site....no it can not be verified.
