I keep seeing followups to the survey.  PLEASE, everyone,
add these followups to the OEIS entries.

(I'm referring to Benoit's recent message saying

> The formula for A193129, namely A193129(n) = n^(2n-4) for n>0, is true
since obviously
A193129(n) = A000272(n)^2 for n>=0.
By the way, one should add A193129(0)=A193129(1)=A193129(2)=1.

and many earlier messages)

Best regards
Neil
