	True, but UUCP BBS, such as mine, connect, usualy, much faster
with the Internet.  I have exchange mail with friends all over the world,
sometimes taking less than an hour for the mail to get from the sender to
me.  Can you honestly say FidoNet boards do that?  Not likely, since the
hubs only exchange mail during the cheap hours, which makes sense.  My
connection, and most UUCP boards' too, are done much more often than that.
