Emily,
I agree that it would not be appropriate to use this website for your research, and you make some good points in your short analysis--I especially like that you note the advertisements on the side. If you searched a bit more, you would have found the author's name and address after clicking on "credits and feedback" on the first page. However, no other background information is found to tell us about the authority or expertise of the author. Also, I found that two of the three last links on the page were "dead" links. While your evaluation was a concise and informative response, you could have gone into more depth regarding the limits of this site.
Thanks,
Ms. Voss
