The allegations of fraud have not been removed.

There is nothing to suggest that you are an authoritity on the
topic, and also the data does not provide any support, since
there is still a mismatch between the numbers.

The facts taken from the named webpages:

 Summary: -1.8

 Raw Data: 7.21 secs for GNAT, and 4.12 secs for C.

The bounds are:
   7.215 / 4.115, = 1.7533414
   7.205 / 4.125, = 1.7466666

The figure -1.8 is outside of the range.

Now there is resaon to suspect that the purpose for the Intel
'half' of the website may be unacceptable to an Ada community.

You didn't put enough words into the e-mail to actually make out
an argument. So far the topic here is one of getting rid of the
allegation that final results are falsified. This is not a
Haskell mailing list that hints the corruption might have been
a motive by pretending to have a leaked e-mail from a
benchmark website subvrting bribe-paying C consortium.
