CV - I think that this all needs to be put in perspective.

Quicksort - one of your issues - is a standard algorithm, published for decades now.

I understand that when you see your exact "keystrokes" copy/pasted that you feel ownership - but for that one - not really.

I've shared a large amount of proprietary concepts with people on the forum. My partner has chastised me occasionally for it - but in the long run - I benefit from the relationship that I forge with other on the forum.

It is a give and take - that's what the forum is all about...

My 2 cents anyway
