Cameron was asking about an unruly spider... you can't trace those
back to a Gopher server, only an IP address. There's no reason people
should be prevented from hosting an anonymous server if they want to,
or conveying contact information in the method they see fit.

Worrying about clients that don't support HTML is like worrying about
how your gopher looks in Mosaic. 99% of people will be able to pull up
a page in Firefox or another client if they want to.
