you have to have a newsgroup account, some isp's have there own newservers so check your isp first , or you have to sign up for a payed newsgroup

only more risk if you use your ISPs newsserver to upload ...

Yes.. it is.. 
People really overlook newsgroups usage, just because you don't use it doesnt mean other people are the same. In my old work place we had a company news server where a huge amount of our R+D was discussed, it allowed the whole company to get a look in on what was going on, and although it wasnt very widly known a good 20 thousand people looked at the damn thing daily.. In the past 2 year's I've browsed text newsgroups and posted questions, getting 10 responses within an hour, and while using an old news server I got so many replies my retention couldnt keep up..
Lets also not forget google groups, which are of course newsgroups!
As for your comments on 70 day retention, Im pretty busy and although I spend a fair amount of time on the forum it's usually time spent while working at my computer or in a lab.. this being said I don't have the time to crawl newsgroups everyday, so its nice to search for something and find that its still around even after most news servers have dropped it..
So although you are fully entitled to your opinion, don't think other people share it.. because they don't ..

actually, quite a few times in the last couple of months I've wanted things that have expired on newshosting. I still like the price though ...
