Yes, glad that you found the erroneous comment.

Truth welcomes "suspicion" - if the entry is in error, I want to know. 
I did not mean to sound defensive, only that I had verified all the 
formulas and that the formulas were based on a proven result. 
 
The e.g.f. of A097682 is the generating function of a special case 
of Benoit Cloitre's generalization of the Euler-Gauss formula for the 
gamma function. 
 
Thanks,
