Dear Mike Ossipoff, I had posted the Floyd algorithm in a private mail (30 April 2000) to David Catchpole, Blake Cretney, Steve Eppley, Rob Lanphier, Norman Petry, and you. In your 28 Feb 2001 mail (i.e. about 10 months later), you mentioned your "Greatest Beatpath Magnitude algorithm" for the very first time. Therefore, it is clear that your claim, that you had invented this algorithm before I posted the Floyd algorithm to you, is not correct.
