Exactly what I thought and expressed (finitely) many times!!

Look, right now we read:

Last modified October 16 12:42 EDT 2009. 
Contains 164517 sequences. 

If you apply, "transformation", say, 
 (Ax)^2+Ax+41 
for all 164517 sequences
you'll easily get another 
164516 NEW sequences 
(with no more than, say, 10 dupes);-))
