sequences.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I just note that all current sequences have a
creation date, but this is not true for many earlier sequences.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Since I am a long-time contributor, I am
occasionally asked about sequences I created long ago, and sometimes I have to
guess on the year.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The A-numbers establish an approximate timeline, in
that for the most part they order sequences in time. Would it be possible, by
taxing our memories, to establish an approximate timeline for sequences over the
past few years, to within, say, the year? It would be useful
sometimes.</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
