Someone mail me the ones that need to be finished up, after others pick and choose. I'll put them in ahead of some others on a couple of machines and let them get kicked out.

um... yeah, that's probably poaching. It's really quite rude to take an exponent somebody's been working on for 700+ days. darn annoying to take 700 days to do a freaking DC though!

I think we all realize that is poaching, I am sure battlemax is willing todo it under the other persons name lol to get things moving.

700 days in my mind is completly unacceptable!

Dunno about Battlemax, but I might look at doing so - the "under the other person's name" thing - with my P4 box once it completes it's current exponent. Definitely would look at the "long overdue for check-in" exponents first - if the machine hasn't checked in for 70+ days, there's a problem there somewhere....

I've got slow machines myself, so I understand far too well how annoying it would be to lose all credit for an exponent I'd worked on for more than a year - heck, I'm still a couple weeks away from finishing my first LL, after ballpark 3 months working with Mersenne (the P-IV box was my Christmas present to myself)....

They'd still get credit for doing a double-check in that case on their own box, if I understand things correctly?

All of these are so small a P-IV 2.4 should be able to hammer them all out in less than a month....

(later edit) Then again, I may not have to bother - over half that list is now done, though there's been a couple new exponents appear on the PrimeNet list in that range - but the new appearances seem to be assigned to faster machines, from what I can tell.
By the time I could get to it, there may not be any left to worry about.
