It's interesting that you also have two accounts. I had an email from
George saying that I somehow got two accounts and the latest results
sent in have been credited to the second account. He said he would
fix that up. The other person who claimed they were getting no credit
again has two accounts -- one under Ralph Green Jr. and the other under
Ralph Green. I found him easily in the list, but he's since given up,
though still on the mersenne mailing list.

Here's what appears on my individual account for the ten exponents
tested.
