Not to me.

I does not bother me that the occasional exponent gets triple checked because it expired and both the new owner and the old owner complete it, that's pretty unavoidable and it wasn't deliberate. It bothers me when people deliberately do it without caring that they may be screwing someone else over. There's a big difference between accepting bad things because they just happen, and just sucking it up when someone is doing it deliberately to you. And I would like to point out that it is not "the occasional triple check". I did a quick look through all the exponents that k5gj has returned results for, and well over half, perhaps 75% are triple (or higher!) checks. I asked for help reaching him because it appears he is a long time GIMPS participant and well known, if he was joe nobody there would be no point. I know that I would certainly want to know if I was wasting 75% of my computing power. _________________________________________________________________________ Unsubscribe & list info -- http://www.ndatech.com/mersenne/signup.htm Mersenne Prime FAQ -- http://www.tasam.com/~lrwiman/FAQ-mers
