I haven't been to rec.music.bluenote in years, but you're right.  There were
lots of flame wars as certain groups tried to vie for supremacy.  If it has
gone to smooth jazz, it's worse than it was when I left.

Usenet has rec.music.bluenote, but I haven't been there in quite some time.
I remember it being quite a violent place, pitting all sorts of jazz
factions against each other in bloody flame wars. The last time I checked,
it was populated mainly by shills for smooth jazz. Hal Vickery may still
inhabit that space (report to us if you wish, Hal!), but if you are after
an old-jazz group, don't bother with this one.
