This is the classic paradigm held by Microsoft: The user has no idea what he or she wants, let's push our suggestions. That's why you never know what happens next when you run Windows.This is a temporary measure to help promote the W2L series.
Why are we imitating?
Let's think who comes to our sites: Ourselves, those looking for concrete info (lectures and such) and those who just heard about Haifux.
The two first groups will be mildly annoyed. The third group will get the impression that all Haifux does is W2L.
I think that a link in large font, possibly in red, near the top of the original page is enough to make it clear for any curious surfer that there is going to be a set of lectures. Don't worry, some of our potential visitors have the motoric ability to click a link, not to talk about the wisdom of choice.
Alon, what do you think when you type a URL and get something else than you expected?
