To say nothing of the fact that USENET is a clumsy dinosaur of a network, too.
Many such people that run FidoNet (not to imply FidoNet is better or worse
than USENET) or other computer networks are likely to be of the mind that to
make such a change would be a big step backwards in technology and protocol.
The one big advantage that USENET has is sheer size.
