Team Prime Rib: priority orphanage exponents - Page 3

David,
Yes we have noticed that you only do factoring and not the LL test. However, when the exponent gets reassigned to you it often has the effect of kicking the exponent out of the other person's worktodo.ini. It may be a good idea not to use Primenet to report your result for numbers where no factor is found and email them directly to George. That way the exponent assignments would not get messed up.
Believe me the current situation is messed up. I for one have been frustrated by exponents that stay hanging for a very long time.
