Hi Mark

Another comment. You talk about MD5. 

For those people who still think MD5 offers some type of security, I
suggest you direct readers to:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_table

The short story is that crackers can pre-crack your password (before you
use it, that is) by storing the MD5 version of all possible passwords of
a given length.
