Some concepts are not as creative as people think. Back in the 60's and 70's (and maybe later) TV show writers would reject or refuse to read viewer submitted scripts due to providing royalties for story ideas. I recall hearing on the commentary track for the Star Trek Animated Series, David Gerrold would get script submissions on the streets, and he'd also get confronted by people he never met about claims he took their scripts. The fun ny thing was many of the ideas he had pitched to him were either in the works, or there was a variation of that story line comes up for discussion every season.

What in the hell uses gopher protocol? How many obscure layers deep does it Where does it end?
Well, for starters, Lynx, the popular text mode browser, supports gopher.
You can also operate gopher over pure telnet if you feel so inclined. I don't recommend it :-P
Also there are dedicated clients like cgo

So if you can open and operate gopher over a telnet client, I'm assuming the reason you wouldn't being gopher having some kind of 'enhanced' or special functionality. Must have been something to do with UNIX systems.

There's a gopher client built around netcat, echo and less:
nago.sh
https://github.com/hb9kns/nago
It works well.
Most TCP protocols can be operated via Telnet (or rather, a raw TCP connection, e.g. netcat). That doesn't mean you *want* to (e.g. send an email, download a file via http), but it's possible.

Then there's the problem we have today with copyrighted works that are simply no longer published. Before Disney, etc. extended Copyright way past the originally intended 28 years, those works fell into the public domain, making it much easier for people to view them.

It is not exactly a UNIX-only thing. It is more like an http or ftp predecessor. In fact, it helps to think of it as http without cookies
and headers and connection multiplexing or anything.
The real deal with gopher is that the protocol is so simple that you
can write your own gopher-sites and services with scary ease, and keep
the whole thing extremely lightweight for both the user and the administrator.
Too bad someone hasn't created a gopher proxy module for NGINX. I'd
like to be able to proxy gopher via HTTP locally instead of using one
of the external gateways.

Thanks for that link. You are the hero of the week!A similar client exists for the Gemini protocol, from some Gopher
