No, it's all right. In fact, I believe my boss spoke to Bruce about
this idea in August. But I have permission to discuss the algorithm. I
may even be able to get the code, but to be honest, it isn't that much;
it would probably be just as easy for it to be re-written as it would be
to fit it into Postgres.

You're scaring me. Is the information you describe in the public domain
or is it intellectual property of any particular company? Are you sure?
We just recovered from one patent scare.
Good to have you around though, if we're covered.
