Re: OT: rude behaviour

well you've got me there, you're right, that's what you did ask and I =
misunderstood. curse my optimism for thinking we were for a second =
talking about what software does instead of what it does not do. I also =
made numerous typos on my other reply to Nuno so let's nip that in the =
bud too while we're here; it's now Saturday afternoon where I am and =
that means I'm distracted, more on that later, so this is probably my =
last thought on the subject.

to answer your question correctly, no I do not expect any client to =
render my Gopher map correctly and you can find me on record saying =
exactly that.

but now we're dancing around the real point: that there's no discussion =
about Gopher on the Gopher mailing list. there wasn't for months.

now, to my distraction, I have a four year old daughter and this is =
going to blow your mind. she goes to a public preschool, a melting pot =
of cultures and languages, some of her best friends barely speak =
English. but you know what I did catch her talking to them about? =
daddy's Gopher space. so, in recent months, a flock of cackling =
preschool girls are talking more about Gopher in than the Gopher mailing =
list.

I'll drop the argument now because I got what I wanted. despite the =
Gopher mailing list's mailman setup being broken, the archive still =
works so now it's committed to communal memory how little the Gopher =
mailing list actually cares about Gopher, a protocol that despite the =
contrary wheezing I hear from the infirmary, I do deeply care about.

I look forward to having the same conversation when you all rise from =
your tombs next year.
