I agree with you Petr. I have been on B-Hebrew since the '90s. I am not a
regular contributor but a regular reader and much prefer the current format.
So if you start a mailing list please inform me.

Thanks,

Dexter Garnier

PS I also share your preference for the posting anonymity you wrote of
previously. I am on a TC-List group that functions well as such.
