Re: gopher vs. web

["Stephen E. Collins" <lmnet@web66.coled.umn.edu>]

I'm not sure I understand the difficulty here, but I
don't think this is a "gopher vs. web" problem.   What
I am wondering if the root of the problems is a poor
implementation of the web site, or just the lack of a
good web client.

For example, current versions of both Netscape and
Explorer allow you to e-mail any web page to anyone.
If you just bring up the page with the message on it,
you can then e-mail it.

Is that the problem you raise or I am misunderstanding?
What are the other shortcomings?

Thanks.
