After a short but nice correspondence with IanJ I'm convinced, that
it's more  important that my phlog  is really readable by  my (few)
readers and  not breaking  with the  long-established rules  of the
Gopher  community. And  I can't  (and shouldn't)  demand people  to
change  their reading  habits  (for example  if  they're using  UMN
Gopher Client, which should now be able to display my pages again).

Therefore I rolled back my phlog  to use plaintext pages instead of
gophermaps for a few conveniences again. Fortunately I found my old
scripts to publish  plaintext pages and updating the  index and RSS
feed correctly (hopefully). So moving back was not *that* painful.

I  also got  a  few other  emails  suggesting me  to  move back  to
plaintext pages, which convinced me even further.

So, all things back to normal!

All in all - Have fun!
