	The "problem" is that you are clearly taking a position contrary
to the sites documented "rules".

	If you would like to update the FAQs to say something like:

	"The Great Computer Language Shootout Benchmark will always retain
and display all submitted versions of benchmarks"

	Then I will have no further complaint with this issue.

	I don't believe such a position is in the best interests of the
long term health of the GCLSB, though.
