Taken from the main article:

Some people like to remove useuful information which allows readers to reach their own conclusions. This information posted by Jeff Stier- BRYAN--- you may contact me at stier at ACSH.org if you want to again remove the above (I tried emailing you to share this info- but I do not see your address.) You have posted information which you are now on notice is incorrect-regarding our funding. User talk:66.237.192.3

According to [1] Jeff Stier is the Associate Director of ACSH, is responsible for external affairs, including media and government relations, policy, legal affairs and development. Assuming this is true it presents me with a bit of a dilemma; on the one hand he's been consistantly partisan in editing the DDT page on this matter for several years now but on the other hand he's in a position to know these sorts of details. Jeff, could you perhaps point out a publically-accessible source where your claims can be checked (bearing in mind that I'm Canadian so have no access to American libraries)? And perhaps if you wish to discuss this matter at length it'd be a good idea to register a user account (note that although that would make my email address available I prefer to discuss the content of articles publically on talk: pages like this one).

[edit] POV tag

I really question the validity of the idea that ACSH is simply a lobbying group for industry. Is it objectively verifiable that they are simply a front end for industry? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dsimcha (talkcontribs).

Which bit says it's a "front end for industry"? Bryan 02:05, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tufts University accuracy scale

On the Tufts University accuracy indicator, does a higher number on the scale represent more accurate information from that organization as listed on ACSH? Chris 19:06, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
