Belated Congratulations to the as yet unnamed discover, also to George
Woltman, Scott Kurowski, and the multitude of GIMPS participators.

Good grief, nor can I. I was hoping that at the very latest George would
release the details as soon as Math. Comp. (or whoever) acknowledges
receipt of the paper announcing the discovery. Once that has occurred,
priority is established and nobody else can 'steal' the result. Of
course somebody has to write the paper but that can be done in parallel
with the double-checking. So hopefully we will not have to wait too
long.
