Well, it's your choice. You may do not use Internet for your needs or you may
do, nobody makes you to choose. Actually you get much more useful things from
Internet, no doubt about it. Every fidoman enters Internet when he needs smth
fastly. Are you agree?  E.g. if you need some article or some document, where
would you choose to go? Fidonet or Internet? What would you  prefer:  to wait
until this article comes to you from some echo (you  must  subscribe  to this
echo before that),  or you  would enter an  online net  Internet and  get the
needed document in some seconds?

This is just a wasting of time -- to compare  Fidonet and Internet.  They are
quite different and they serve  to  different  needs.  If you are  annoyed by
capitalists,  well you can choose not to use Internet for your needs.  If you
don't care about that like usually people do then you'll use Internet as it's
the  net of the  future.  Millions of  people  can't  imagine their lives now
without Internet (and I am one  of them  'cause  Internet is  one of my  main
sources of fresh information and cash). If somebody doesn't like  that,  well
this is only his/her problem.
