That looks like the spider trap link.

That's the joke.
This sort of Slashdot-esqe misdirection is not exactly appropriate on HN. It starts with black-holing universities with a link mislabeled as a response, but could quickly devolve into misdirections to other black holes of Slashdot that (I assume) we really don't want here.
Not to mention the fact that if someone at a university does click the link, they could ruin any number of people doing research there. That includes undergrads doing a last-minute reference to their thesis and tenured professors about to cure cancer.
As a user of HN, don't tell me or others what's appropriate, thanks.
Nitrogen is right. This sort of Slashdot-esqe misdirection is not exactly appropriate on HN.
