Hallo Mary!
Ups, I don't suspect you.
Maybe the method should be more like: Look at the cleared exponent
report to find accounts only or overwhelming returning 66-bits factors.
But this might still unwantedly "catch" you as those factors you find
will be in this area.
Then one will have to do some TF double checking work of the factors
given to the account (can be seen at the assigned tests report). And
then again you have to be sure the account also finished it's work on
that TF.
So as I said it is to complex, to time consuming and not exactly a job
for me, as I won't be the GIMPS police.
And I very well understand your view TF's starting from eg. 64 bits also
have to be done some day.

Well, you'd nail me. I do expired exponents for the most part,
which makes
it much less likely that I will find a factor because almost all
of those
expired exponents have already been done part way, and if there
had been a
factor in the parts already done, they wouldn't have expired.
So I have
8.783 P90 years in factoring, and only 6 factors found. Unless
you count
the pre-factoring work I turn in manually to George. Lots of
factors found
there for much less CPU expended.
