Om,

Well then, I'm MORE neurotic than you! If I find a cracked egg, the
whole carton goes back on the shelf with the lid open and I start over with
a new one.

I don't know if a cracked egg gone unnoticed might also hasten the rotten
egg process?!?

I don't worry about intact shells unless there is "egg goo" on it!
So long as the shell is intact and clean, it's good to go imho.
