Have you tried getting a "ticket" started with the ISP. The newsserver
with the problem seems to be news2.new-york.net, and I would imagine
that the problem affects all their other clients. If you are paying for
the service, you should be getting a server that works.
It used to be that posting an FAQ was something that an ISP would get
prestige out of, and I know when I have a probem at my ISP with news I
tend to get a quick answer.

It would be a real problem to set up, what with all the garbage that
gets posted these days.

One wild idea is to use a notification service on your web page, that
gives the user a choice of getting the updated page mailed to them..
