I like to see all kinds of code, so it is worth it to me.

Not that I need sorting routines, but it's interesting for me to see how
problems are solved in different ways.  The code I responded to was
interesting not just for the way it sorted, but for how it was written.
I'm not sure why I should explain to you anyway.  Am I being moderated,
or do you have a personal problem with my comments?

I'm more interested in code than algorithms, since you didn't post
either, I'd say your comments were less than helpful.
