Instead of making a special exception in behalf of Shachar Shemesh (and
later also Gilad Ben-Yossef, Ram-On Agmon, Dov Grobgeld, Shlomi Fish,
Lior Kaplan, . . .), I suggest that Shachar add a RSS feed which
publishes links to the BiDi programming articles.  This is why RSS was
conceived in the first place.

Then Shachar is to link to the RSS feed in his .signature and Linux-IL
will be spam-free to the strictest definition of span.

Last time I checked the articles, I found no link to a RSS feed
specializing in those articles.
