I can't remember where I read or heard this, but I vaguely remember someone saying they didn't like the politics of FidoNet and preferred WWIVnet. I only ever experienced FidoNet in my teens, so I have no idea what WWIVnet was like. Can anyone elaborate on the cultural differences and feuds between the two networks? I tried to do some research and found mention of WWIVnet being less governed, seemed to have an open source, modding and hacking culture. I also vaguely remember someone mentioning Tom Jennings when talking about the cultural differences, but I can't remember any more detail than that.
