This is why I never bothered with gopher in spite of it appealing to my want for something simpler. Gemini suits my sensebilities while also being far friendlier to work with.

Note: there are a lot of gopher people on the list so let's all be friendly.

I took a look at the Gopher directory/list file format and ran away screaming. Prefixing every single line with its type and hard-wrapping all text lines? Aieeeeeee.
