[Mono-list] GetHashCode discussion

[Martin Aliger]

Hello,

As I read through GetHasCode discussion I noticed, that some of you note that it must be based on MUTABLE data. It makes sense for me. But others speaks about IMMUTABLE data. Please read once more through Microsoft's man reply - he speaks clearly and it make sense. 

Mutable data is correct answer and if someone add it to hastable, he coudn't change data or he never find it again.
