I had the same problem with AOL. My solution was to drop AOL and hookup
with IBM.NET. No problems since!

As an asside to this issue.  After some 4 years on aol I sent a letter to
Steve Case. (like he has time to read it.)   Stating the fact that if AOLl
does'nt get their program in gear,  their vaunted 8 million subscribers
were going to leave in droves.   The response was from an underling who
titled the response  "Re: Phone Issues"   I don't even think she read my
letter.  

If you have problems with rec.woodworking on aol  this is probably the
time to find another server.  Netscape for instance allows you to sort
your newsgroups by date author and subject. As do many other servers.  
Good luck to ya.
