Undergrads?

Anyone else think this seems a bit amateurish?

I notice lots of spelling errors in the announcement, an apparent reluctance to
delve into Squid's "private/public keys" attributes that seem to affect its
vulnerability, a reluctance to admit that they're not the first to discover this
issue, and a patronizing attitude toward software authors, as well as other
problems.

This is an important issue to be aware of, and it's good that these guys are
making software authors aware of what the computer scientists already knew,
but I wish they could either be more professional about it or get rid of the
professional/academic facade completely.
