I don't feel particularly foolish, Robert. I'm not a security expert and
I'm always willing to learn.

I'm happy to educate myself as to the operation of MD5, if you think
that will help. Is there something particular about MD5 as opposed to
other hashing functions that makes it worthy of attention?
