I don't agree.  I've been using FidoNet for about two years, and USENET for
only about a month.  FidoNet is slower getting messages from place to place,
but it is still very nice.  As for reading the same messages twice, just pick
a board where you want to read a certain ECHO area, and don't read that are
on other boards.  Come on, how could someone not figure that out?  I the
Denver area there are over 200 boards, with about 40 or so of them in the
FidoNet, so there are *plenty* local messages to be found.
