this intrigues me.

(sorry i don't look familiar. been lurking the last couple of years.)

one downfall, i feel, with gopher is it is clear text. has anyone thought 
about, besides me, an sGopher protocol? i think gopher would get more 
mainstream use if it had security built into it. many companies refuse to 
use anything that sends clear text over a wire. just a thought.
