[I am deliberately not HTML linking to that article.
When I visited it, using the link below,
my computer started behaving very strangely,
running slowly, totally freezing up for prolonged periods,
and the complete screen graying out, with an hourglass shown, for minutes.

For reference, below is the URL in question, without an HTML link.]
