       I think you are absolutely right about the kinds of behaviors www and
       gopher promote.  (Look! we agree!)  Unfortunately, I don't think it
       matters to people in the real world.  I prefer to call this
       "realistic" and hope no one is foolish enough to think someone will be
       tweeking gopher into some "www-killer".
       
       Remember, I run a gopher server, too.  I have my reasons as well.
