I think the idea of a gopher wayback machine is a great idea=2E Only thing =
that I say is there needs to be a way to one=2E Either opt out or two=2E Th=
ere needs to be a way to opt in to be put on that list that it that it uses=
 to go and collect gopher sites=2E I think it would be great because it giv=
es us some historical perspectives and it gives us the ability to go back a=
nd see what others in the past have done and admire their great works=2E

Subject: the idea of a Gopher =
Wayback machine

a little way back (see what I did there?) I brought up the=
 idea of a=20
Gopher Wayback machine to Bitreich's 20h in the hopes of bullying him=20
into action and it didn't go as expected=2E I wasn't thinking he'd do it,=
=20
he's busy and I wasn't asking nicely=2E

what surprised me is he thought the idea was wrong and dumb=2E he didn't=
=20
like the idea of recording Gopher history in that way and talked about a=
=20
right to be forgotten=2E

I'm on the opposite side of the fence, I feel like history is more=20
important than that right, and if you publish something publicly then=20
you do so knowing that you absolve yourself of that right=2E

so I ask the list, what are your thoughts on the idea of a Gopher=20
Wayback machine?
