I have to admit, it's new to me.

My first impression, having made my browser 'non brain dead' (I 
actually
think it may well be now though!) posted a comment in Brian's guest 
book,
is how daft the system is for posting, a tiny little field (not even a
window) and you have to enter code first, very user friendly!

Maybe that's nothing to do with the underlying protocol, but none the 
less,
as a first experience of it, I am in no hurry to rush back! ;-)

Maybe if the virtues of the gopher protocol come to me somehow (anyone
please feel free to enlighten me), I will
dabble, until then, simply getting people to change to OpenNIC 
resolvers,
running a T2 and an OpenNIC compatible web-host, a web proxy and trying 
to
make content for people to see when they do change resolvers is enough 
to
keep me busy!
