Well, this thread is somewhat legendary among the annals of the Cardboard, largely because it exists. So, although I never would have started a thread about graphene, the fact that I know about this thread, and its legenedery-ness, means that the last couple articles about graphene I have encountered have reminded me of the thread, and made me update it.
I wouldn't quite call it a joke; I don't think anyone is trying to be funny here. But to some extent subsequent follow-up posts are sort of like being part of the "in" crowd. It's a badge of being a member of the cardboard family. That being said, while not political, there is nothing Stanford-related about graphene, though I am sure some MSE folks are working on it. So, if the powers that be wanted to lock this thread, they would be within their rights.
