Oops! I forgot to include a couple of points.  Sorry.  Since, you haven't
answered my prevoius post yet, you are technically still left with the last
word.

As you 'should' well know some hash tables are variable in size and in such
cases it is silly to limit them with a many-to-one mapping in such cases, M=N
and even M<N is possible.

The fundamentally, the error you are making is the scattering out of keys is in
and of itself a desirable property, distinct from a one-to-many mapping.  For
example, just this property is used in skip lists.  Hashing there is a way of
using probability to keep the tree balanced.  Many-to-one business is irrelevant
there.

OK that's all folks.  I mean it this time
