[squid-users] squidnt.com, warning
It seems that the site http://squidnt.com/ is trying to masquerade as an official website for Mr Serassio's Windows port of Squid. It doesn't explicitly state this, but the wording of the site contents strongly implies such a thing. Also it was entered into a new Wikipedia article on SquidNT as the homepage: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=SquidNTaction=history I suspect blog-spam of some sort.

The squidnt.com site seems deliberately incomplete SquidNT was the name of the Windows port project of Squid 2.5. Starting from Squid 2.6 STABLE4 Windows is an official Squid 2 platform, and the official sources can be compiled on Windows without changes. So SquidNT is the name of a complete project. I think that the Wikipedia page and the Squid FAQ page should me more accurate about this. So I have just updated the Wiki page: http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/AboutSquid#head-500ddc367517c94cdf5cc49cb26868ab64becf63 Please, do you can update again the Wikipedia page ?

The site seems completely anonymous on who is behind the content, and I have never heard of the name who is registered as owner of the domain (additionally the domain owner is registered with an UK address but US phonenumber.. which is a bit odd but imho) But I do suspect the wikipedia user who created the wikipedia article is the the same. The wikipedia article was created before the first blog post (Wikipedia article created 19 July, first blog post is from 26 July). I have added a warning comment on their download page.
