[seqfan] Re: Duplicates

[Marc LeBrun]

Allow me to add to this thread my usual gentle exhortation that 
submitters and editors also carefully consider the impact of 
near-duplicate variants with debatable initial terms or offsets on 
superseeker(s) as well as seeker(s).  It would be a shame if some 
deeply interesting relationship between a new and a known sequence 
were to get missed by the automation due to gratuitous noise or 
diversity.  Please keep in mind that many important transforms are 
exquisitely sensitive to these variations.  Much as I too enjoy 
debating the meanings of 0^0 etc I would argue that the most valuable 
version of all to have in the OEIS is the least controversial common 
subsequence with a rock-solid offset.
