I would not assume he was poached. More likely, the exponent had been
assigned once, expired, and was reassigned to diamonddave. Later the
original user sent in his result. There are other possible non-malicious
reasons.
Historically, poaching has been confined to the smallest *untested*
exponents. At present, there seems to be little to no poaching going
on.
