[seqfan] Re: Re Helping with my "overflow"

[Neil Sloane]

The drawback to all those helpful suggestions is that many of the messages
that I am talking about come from members of the general public - people
who know nothing much about the OEIS, random people from anywhere in the
world.  Children, physicians, ...
I can't ask them to register with the OEIS to get an answer.  (Well, I
could, but I won't.)


Best regards
Neil
