My apologies. With "monkey" I was not referring to any person,
but to this old dictum that "if 10^n monkeys are provided with the 
typewriters
and enough paper, then one day they will produce the complete works of 
Shakespeare".
(With presumably _somebody_ having to read all the output and
then recognize when the Hamlet is ready...)
In the same way, purpose of OEIS and Neil is not to filter
those few good ones from all the careless submissions,
but instead it is supposed that submitters themselves
have some kind of _taste_ what is worthwhile and what is not.

Moreover, I think you can still be a very valuable contributor
to OEIS, like many of us other amateurs are. Many people
have developed a lot, over the years.


Best wishes,

Antti
