Oh, you're also from Germany! :-P

Yeah, I get that a lot. Last name of Hinz, and German newsserver. Easy
mistake to make. I've even been told by a few folks that my English is
very good for a German

The ISP you are using has it's own NNTP-host, so no need to pay
individual.net.

Well, it's only 10 Euro (14 bucks or so) a year, and individual.net's
news server is _very_ reliable and fast. I've seen enough complaints
about pretty much every other ISP's newsservice that for me, it's worth
it. Also, they gave me free news service for years; I don't mind paying
them back for a while.
