That was a fair enough request. Yes, the party to which you refer is an
account that I filtered to /dev/null a long time ago. My bad. It
appeared as if you were referring to me.

No worries.

You'll note I also cc'd you on this. It's my practice to set my MUAs to
only "reply list", since that's where I'm conversing. I can't promise
anything in the future, but I'll try, and a friendly reminder with each
of your posts will help :)

Thank you.

Reply all is a safe bet on all mailing lists, I recommend using it bydefault to make sure you include everyone in the thread.

On another note, I would appreciate it if you would take a moment to
ensure that your webproxy agent stays off my lawn at *.vger.cloud. I
have no qualms about other types of agents, I just personally believe
that people should use native Gemini and Gopher protocol clients (which
includes browser plugins such as dillo-gemini, qute-gemini, OverbiteNX,
and SSH kiosks) to browse Gemini and Gopher space.

My proxy's IP address is 173.195.146.137, I leave the rest up to you.It's my proxy's responsibility to dutifully perform the requests theuser asks of it, and it's your responsibility to curtail whatever kindsof traffic you don't want to access your server. I do not supportdiscrimination against user agents, because that's discriminationagainst users.*

For what it's worth, my proxy only serves my domain and serves externalcontent only if the user follows links from my domain to a third party.It's not useful as a general purpose web portal to geminispace.
