Hmmm...  I ask you a question about why you think CRC is better for my application and you respond oddly.  So you can't explain why the CRC would be better for my application?  OK, thanks anyway.

I will say this again, rather than burying your comments on CRC in this thread about checksums, why not open a new thread, and allow the world to read what you have to say, instead of commenting as a side topic in a thread where most people have tuned out long ago?  You can use an appropriate subject line like, "Why CRC is better than checksums for some applications".  

Or you can continue to muddy up the waters here by discussing something that is of no value in this application.
