You're joking, right?

These are the same folk who wrote a blog item (very good in what it 
covered) that included (desevered) comments about open redirectors as a 
tool the scammers were increasingly using.  The post was by a self-
described "Security Evangelist" and "expert in web application security". 
Sadly, the blog-ware they used had its own, trivially obvious to the most 
cursory of glances, open redirector to provide its "link to the poster's 
homepage" functionality.

Some "web application security expert"...
