inverse ratio of exponents.

turned out to be a prize winning prime.
Poaching in GIMPS/PrimeNet isn't a matter of legality; it's a matter of
rules of the game and fair play.

But IMO we still need to consider whether the separate discussions are
best for GIMPS in the long run.

Unless there is some such special relationship, I imagine
that thousands of non-discoverers could also be trusted not

AFAIK, the number of such findings is too small to make any significant
