First, please note that although there is a similarity in the names, this site and DSFacts are not related in any way. The domain name that was chosen for this site was inspired by DSFacts, but primarily for the brevity of the title and resulting URL. To be clear, I am on the editorial board of DSFacts, but have no status here other than being a member and big mouth.
DSFacts is and will remain a static site, where CURATED and organized information will be stored. It will not have ads, and is being updated by an editorial board comprising DS surgeons and DS veterans with medical, scientific and legal expertise.
The structure of DSFacts is that (1) it is nominally owned by Dr. Keshishian, as a public service; (2) there are and will be other DS surgeons included on the editorial board for updating and reviewing the accuracy of general medical information on the site; and (3) the DS surgeons list is controlled solely by the DS vets, to avoid to the extent possible any appearance of impropriety of the DS surgeons having input on their peers/competitors.
It is my understanding that links to DSFacts are allowed here, under the terms of the TOUs for all websites, which are based on principles of copyright law and sensible, factually correct application of processes for promotion of the site to increase its visibility to search engines.
