All,
I have hidden a message in the text below:

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to find the hidden message and report back on the algorithm you used. I have provided 3 clues of increasing insight to help you on your journey. They should be used only as a last resort.
Clue #1:
Clue #2:
Clue #3:
While I am interested in all approaches, I am hoping that someone creates an efficient general solution to related problems. I have code to generate the hidden message so if anyone is interested in seeing how their solution works on bigger messages let me know.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
