I am making an entry to OEIS for Henry Baker's interesting sequence of numerators to the successively better rational over-estimates of 2*pi. Can I give credit with a reference to the math-fun archives? Are we "public" in that sense?
Well, OEIS is where I first heard of this list.
Henry, do I have permission to credit you and give your original post as a reference?
And a search for all mentions of the late Dan Hoey in OEIS is where I found the OEIS entry that mentioned this list. So if I get a vote, I vote for yes. Ironically, there was a recent discussion in a truly private forum that's not specifically dedicated to math that parallels a current thread here. Someone (not me) even mentioned an old HAKMEM entry about continued fractions by Gosper and RCS.
