I hope others will follow your lead and provide checksums for their creations.
Let's imagine you send a disc to Tom, with .SFV included, and Tom pays it forward to Dick.
Maybe Dick isn't too tech-savvy, or maybe he smoked one too many alt.hoobiedoobie.thingies and lacks attention to detail.
Dick's still a nice guy however, so he pays forward to Harry. But the disc arrives at Harry's sans .SFV file.
Shit happens, right ? (Remember the case of the missing EditDroid JACKET_P and DVD-Rom content ?)
Not a problem. Harry can get the .SFV right here from this thread, straight from the horse's mouth as it were,
and then be confident (gazillion-to-one probability anyway) that his disc is a clone not merely a copy.
Now I've got copies of your .SFV files tucked away for safe keeping, so I'm set.
But months from now, will the external hyperlinks still be active ? Is that a (semi)permanent web site ?
If I had my druthers, I'd ruther see the contents of the files cut-n-pasted on page 1 of this thread
along with tech specs and any other info for quick easy reference.
[Of course that begs the question Will this forum still be here months from now ?
Jay has talked about overhauling this site using different software. What will be the fate of
the wealth of historical information archived within this forum ? Sure it's difficult to search,
but still worth keeping IMHO. I hope the current forum's database can be imported into
whichever new software Jay chooses.]

You can lead a horse to water . . . .
