Dear Tony,<br>
<br>
I trust your judgment on what is beautiful versus what is
contrived. So I won't submit the sequence, unless and until
(unlikely) someone on seqfans finds something of interest in it
or near it. Good b-list by you, in any case. At worst, a b-list
allows people to find new things beyond their computational
power. Some are contrived, some are cool. Thanks again for the
good advice.<br>
