[seqfan] most important numbers, Guinness Book of Records, etc.

[Olivier Gerard]

Dear Seqfan Members,

Don't you think we have sufficiently gone off-topic on this ?

I would not like it to degenerate precisely like a sci.math thread
on (easy) conventionnal matters or (unsolvable) taste wars.
The point of the OEIS is that there are not one or a few constants worth
mention in mathematics and other sciences but many sequences of them...

regards,

Olivier Gerard
