A Haskell Usenet group noticed that there had been bias at that
website.

I am not retracting my suggestion because the falsification seems
real; Ada is not defended, C is not defended, you produced a bunch of
timing figures again ... which causes readers to wonder just how big
a pro-C bias has to get before your aim of tweaking GNAT Ada 95 code
collapses?. Could it be 2005% ? ... and Leroy said that there is no
shortage of ideas in ARG.

Here's is Mr Isaasc Gouy's e-mail address since it really looks like
comp.lang.ada lacks ideas.

Apologies for this, but I ask Mr Krischik to disclose the date when
he typed something into a Debian distr console.
