I don't want to have to re-code a commodore 64 gopher client because someone decided to redefine gopher and make everything more incompatible...


Dear Jason,

I know it's pretty old statement, but not much changed in Gopher RFC 
from that time ;/

What happened to your gopher? What is that new "gopher-ish" derivate you 
invented there? I was not here in 2019 where you original post this 
article, I Just assume and speculate that you had gopher which was 
compatible with UMN gopher client and was RFC 1436 compliant.

I hope nobody and nothing forced you for this incompatibilities and it's 
just matter of time to fix things.

May you be with gopher again
