Hi everybody,

to my mind Chris has a point.

See, you even have to make changes to your registry in order to browse
some gopher menus with Internet Explorer. How many users can we expect
to do so? Let alone how many users still remember gopher if they know it
at all? And those who remember, how many of them really use Internet
Explorer (for browsing gopher space)?

Greetings,
Dennis

I dont feel we should make some "rule" such as this (which doesn't exist now) especially on behalf of M$ IE. Gopher protocol does not limit anyone to port 70 lets not try and change that.
