I'm puzzled, why FidoNet is not mentioned in this article (Ok, it is mentioned in one place, in one sentence with AOL, without any explanation).

Many of my best friends are from FidoNet times, and I could trace roots of some online/offline communities around me to FidoNet times. Yes, in 2022. Dman, I meet my (second) wife in FidoNet, but we become partners many years later, after FidoNet sunset! FidoNet overlapped with BBSes but was not equivalent to it. I was FidoNet point, then node, then hub, but never BBS sysop :-)
