Gentleman and Ihaka's integrity in question

Hi: I think I saw a link where the author clarified the original article 
and explained more clearly that the design of R had it roots in S/S+. I 
don't
remember where I saw it but it's somewhere. Also, I think it's jumping 
the gun to claim that anyone lied to anyone before doing the research 
and
knowing that FOR SURE but that's  just my opinion and you are entitled 
to yours.

It does look like Gentleman and Ihaka not only lied to the New York
Times, but also to the New Zealand Herald and who knows who else. This
is disgusting. The R programming language is the S programming
language, and Gentleman and Ihaka are not the ones who designed it.
