Uuuuh, I know all this Pat, why do you waste bandwidth?

BTW, this is NOT what you were saying in your other emails.

We, in general are bound by many things, e.g. gravity.

This is why I tried to put forward an explanation of the
computation steps which are not bound by the conventions used,
but set forth their own ordering, and numbering, so as much
as you can take it out of context and it would still work!

Are you sure Pat?

This is a big matso ball out there to make a statement like
this and tomorrow post a message saying that something somewhere
is ``unclear''.

Pat, you should stick with your story, and not change it on a daily
basis, like yesterday saying that ``bit rule is this and that'', and
``the CRC is this and that'', and today saying that ``everything is fine''.

Less politics, more constructive algorithms. (you can quote me on this)
