But according to Aaron, the results he has been credited with on the
Mersenne top producers page and at primenet did not come from US West
processors, since the activity was terminated before the first exponents
at USWest completed.
Is it right to delete credit for legitimately obtained results, just
because you don't like the man or something he did elsewhere, like
create a controversy?
Even deleting credit for results he obtained using equipment he owns
himself? If not, how do you determine which or how many results are
from which environment?
I think the right course is to wait and see how his case turns out,
and leave the credits alone.
