I do not represent this site...I just found it and thought it would be of interest. I make every attempt to identify the point of origin on every site I find. If I have made an error, please let me know.
Also, I assume everyone reading this post will access the site via gopher. I have no idea (and do not attempt to find out) if the site supports public telnet access, or if the URL has been constructed correctly.
Traffic jams are common at sites mentioned on this list. Don't be surprised if it takes a few days to gain access.
