Holy crap. You wrote this in the time it took me to draft a response to 
your *first* email. :-)

I just wanted to say: I like your ideas and applaud this tangible 
addition to the ecosystem.  I would personally love it something simpler 
than TLS could be used for Gemini.

I love the passion I've seen in the mailing list - it's gratifying to 
see others who care deeply about the same things I do.  My hat's off to 
all of the pioneers who have written clients, servers, and content for 
Gemini so far.

Okay, back to lurking.

(I swear I'll have something substantive to add in the future.)
