No-one seems to be responding here, so I thought I would step in, although I am not responsible for Retros Corner. It's a bit inactive these days for whatever reason. Community members are heavily engaged in offline composition and in publishing in magazines, but don't seem to chat as much here in the mailing list as before, although when a good theme is suggested, there can be a flurry of interest. Can you send a link to your new puzzles in Facebook please? I would be happy to put them in pdb.dieschwalbe.de.

This stopped in 2010 or so. IIRC I extracted most later additions from the PDB. Unfortunately (?), I am heavily engaged in other activities this time, mainly logic puzzles and a repository of German riddles. But I will continue to maintain the Retro Corner if someone provides the problems as before 2010.
