Looks like Adam Curry spoke about Internet Gopher on the Rogan Podcast, so I had to dig this out of the email archives from September '93

I have that whole email thread archived.. What a trip.. Quite pleased that you're still leading on alternative ways to fund, create, and deliver quality content. (1500wordmtu.com/2020/i-have-th)

Indeed! I've been following the growing community. Definitely an example of a Retro Upgrade for our current computing environment.

Not only that, it's a perfectly viable platform for free speech as well. Gopher is simple, easy to set up, and pretty easy to mark up. And it doesn't use a lot of data.

If only gopher clients would come to the 21st century and grok MarkDown, that would be great. ;)
