Did you misspell "delusional"? Algorithms are "created", not "invented", because similar algorithms have been written hundreds of times by hundreds of other people (many of whom didn't have time, energy, or the delusions of grandeur needed to write about them). Moreover, virtually all ideas in software have a value of nothing. The only thing that has value is how the idea is used - Google has value, map-reduce by itself does not. Even the credit typically goes to someone that had little to do with the original idea. (Those who claim otherwise typically are planning to make money by leaching off of those who build stuff rather than "invent" ideas). Finally, in the rare case that someone is actually looking for an algorithm, they'll be looking at credible sources, not unmoderated newgroups. Most likely, they'll be looking for a tested and trustworthy implementation in their programming language (here, Ada), not some rambling textual description. If you have to roll-your-own anyway, you might as well create an algorithm tailored to your problem. Randy. P.S. It's amazing that comp.lang.ada has survived this long as an unmoderated newsgroup. This is nearly the only place on the internet where there is anything sane yet is not moderated. I have to moderate Ada-Comment and ARG and ACAA and ... to avoid clouds of junk that comes daily. Not sure why most of it never seems to get here (the OP excepted, of course).
