As you can probably tell, I have just a bit of contempt for the Web,
perhaps due to the fact that I was raised in Minnesota and have my
loyalties concerning anything from the Gopher State.  It may be you
don't exactly share my opinion, but that's OK.  To each their own.
You don't have to tell me about it.

However, if you must say something, here is a link you can use:

Here's what you've said!

  
From anonymous at aztec.asu.edu:
   
  Thanks for your great homepage.  I've been here before
  but forgot its location.  It's great for us here at        
  AzTec.  I appreciate your effort!
  Again, Thanks!!!!

  Your pages SUCK!!!!YOU LOSER!

From mtv@u.arizona.edu:

  I found your page informative and easy to use. It certainly beats navigating
  through screen after screen of [IMAGE] and [BEAUTIFUL PICTURE HERE]. Even
  as a babe-in-the-woods net surfer, I can appreciate your point about
  Gopher vs. WWW.

From mattw@ccintnet.wrq.com:

  Because I have a 21" monitor, a T1 connection, and a
  user of Netscape, I can't say I'm thrilled by your mantra to "lose
  graphics and kill all oafish users," (maybe I distort your words),
  but I do agree that commercialism and the gigantic growth in
  popularity of the web that has occurred in recent years has surely
  made it seem less welcoming to those who were there when it was just a
  small community of Commodore 64s using 3270 emulation to connect to
  some backwater univeristy or military server.

From bbendick@uainfo.arizona.edu:

  I was raised in Minnesota, and can't say that has any remote bearing on me
  choosing Web or Gopher, or vice versa. *grin* Maybe it's because I was
  raised too far from the cities...

From Migliore@abilnet.com:

  Subject: Your page was great

  Mr.Hunter;

                I found your home page good enough to bookmark.

From stevet@ora.com:

 I did check [your site] out, and it looks interesting.  I think there's
 something to be said for your contention that gopher offers many
 advantages over the typical web site implementation, and I admire your
 initiative in trying to make the point so forcefully.

 Only problem I noticed was extremely slow response time for your gopher
 materials--which I assume was a slow server and not a peculiarity of the
 gopher implementation.

 Hello, Mr. Hunter.
 Can you please tell me where
 the Bucky Fuller Virtual Institute
 has gone?  Thanks

 

From Jim Perry at miles.library.arizona.edu:

I must say I don't appreciate all the advertisements that
spring up across the top of every Web Page I visit, but I
do like to see pictures sometimes.  That's cool that you use
the page to suit your own needs.  It's VERY convenient!  You're a cool guy,
Spence.

From emerald@aztec.asu.edu:

OK, I found an ftp via gopher link at your site which works and
allows me to mail myself ftp files through the Aztec browser.
Thanks again.  Great site.

Thanks for your informational website.  It is useful and concise, and
has almost all of the information I need.

I love gophers. They're fast...low maintenance...my kinda thang.

From johill@domeplans.com:

I did quite a bit of cursing through your Gopher site. What a dense
pile of interesting stuff.  I felt compelled to add it to my
bookmarks. The advantages of Gopher are enhanced when the subject
headings are so compelling e.g. Who is Art Bell, The Coming Ice Age
and James Randi's page to name a few.  This, I'll have to come back
to.

From anonymous at alumnirelations.umn.edu:

Just thought you might be interested. The Gopher you show at
http://www.u.arizona.edu/~shunter/gopher.gif is in actuality the first
official University of Minnesota Goldy mascot. It was drawn by artist
George Grooms circa 1940.

There may be copyright issues or there may not be. Still, it would be
nice if you'd attribute the image properly.

PS> Nice site. Pleasant change from all the visual noise on the web
today.

From Steven at telus.net:

Interesting Web Site trying to be a Gopher Hole.  Actually, I find it 
kind of neat.

So, why emulate The Gopher on The Web rather than just run your own 
Gopher?  I'm sure the explanation is logical and probably obvious, 
but I'm still curious.

Anyhow, adding it to my list of bookmarks.  Loads of good info here, 
excellent Web, hrm, Gopher Hole.  :-)
