We do not need to poach anymore. See George's last post on this topic. I believe the PrimeNet semantics were changed in v15 (?), and now it's based on check-ins, not just expected dates. Anyhow, if any poaching _needs_ to be done, George and Scott takes care of that themselves, since they occasionally check for such exponents. /* Steinar */ -- Homepage: http://members.xoom.com/sneeze/ _________________________________________________________________ Unsubscribe & list info -- http://www.scruz.net/~luke/signup.htm Mersenne Prime FAQ -- http://www.tasam.com/~lrwiman/FAQ-mers
