what is the point of this? usually this type of comment is when there's something inscrutable in the title of a post but the title of this post is literally "Who Is Alexander Grothendieck?"; if you didn't know who he was before clicking you certainly know afterwards.

When the link doesn't load and yet you are stuck with this boiling question in the title, you start to look for answers in the comments to decide how long you are willing to wait for the said link.
