What you get when contact information is not included, are issues like Cameron experienced, which prompted this thread.

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.
