I'm in the process of citing the various tags for the setup of my guestbook in the settings folder, but I don't understand how to cite a workable set of tags for the checksum setting. The README document cites three examples, but I don't understand what would produce any such "values" that would be cited after the = character. What am I missing in this setup? Please clarify the details of the setup for this variable in your script. Thanks

The filter_sum setting is just a seed (random bits) for use in hashing functions. It is appended to strings before hashing them to make sure two different guestbooks generate different hashed results for the same value.

It can be set to any random combination of characters.

This question and problem has been resolved when I just submitted a fresh set of characters for the control.
