Leroy,  You said:

Me:  This was one of a batch of 397 new submissions that I processed
recently.  There were several submissions from you in that
batch, where (as you have often done before) you
first sent in a sequence using SubmitN.html,
and then immediately sent me a correction to one or more
lines via email, but using the same subject line.

This does not work any more - I simply do not have time for this.

Once you have submitted a sequence, any corrections should
be made after the sequence has appeared.  I do not have time
time to go in and make changes to individual lines based
on email messages.

In the case of A175305, things were much worse.

You first submitted the seuence, and then you
sent an email saying:

and then you attached a version of the sequence.  I found this rather
confusing, since it was unclear which version was correct.
So I did not use any of the versions.

Sorry about that - please resubmit it!

Best regards

Neil
