I would love to share them with the Forum, but first I would like to contact the original owner and author of the linked thread, Dave Nash.
I can't PM him because his mailbox is full and I don't have his e-mail address or phone number.

If you know or can contact Dave Nash, please put him in touch with me.

Just a teaser:
The first experimental 4516
The first experimental DAO

Dave Nash can verify.
