		   ---> Gopher Jewels <---


Once upon a time there were hundreds of Gopher sites.  It was realized 
that new users to Gopher might be more inclined to explore these Gopher 
sites if they had some idea of the kind of content that might be out 
there.  So culling interesting material from many of these Gopher 
sites, a very popular eclectic "best-of" link list called Gopher Jewels 
was created (which was maintained for most its life by David Riggins).  

Unfortunately, the original Gopher Jewels list no longer exists on 
Gopher.  I personally missed having this list, so I have created a new 
version of Gopher Jewels, culled from all the public Gopher servers in 
operation (on port 70) during the spring of 2005.  

Please note that I in no way attempted to exercise valuation on any of 
the subject matter.  If there seems to be a lack of certain subjects or 
viewpoints, it is only because they were not found on any of the Gopher 
servers.  Be forewarned that some persons might find some selectors to 
be of a disturbing or thought provoking nature.  I suggest that 
non-adults under the age of 21 NOT use Gopher Jewels.

I envision Gopher Jewels as a community supported project.  As such, I 
encourage all Gopher Jewels users to email JumpJet about broken links or 
new sites of interest (operating on Port 70).  Send email to: 

	jumpjetinfo@yahoo.com

Enjoy!

To continue your exploration of Gopher, I suggest you also search the 
new "All the Worlds Gophers" list located on the Floodgap Gopher server

(NOTE: Gopher Jewels was edited 7/7/07 to remove dead selectors)
