Perhaps a bit old school, and not a perfect solution, but the ABA has an online archive of the NYS list (and others) here: http://birding.aba.org/mobiledigest/NY01 It's not quite real time - there can be a varying degree of lag depending on net traffic or server issues - and you don't get alerts (you have to remember to check it), but doesn't seem to suffer the problem of missing posts. BF's post re the solitaire appeared yesterday with a time stamp of 14:51. Just bookmark it and it can be monitored as often as suits one's needs.
