I must disagree. FidoNet was a lot worse than Usenet was at that time. Spam, lots of irrelevant nonsense and flaming were quite common on FidoNet, around 1990. UseNet was at that time virtually free of that. Of course it all changed when Usenet became accessible in non-academic, non-government environments (read AOL).
