Help with removing my messages

Dear MailMan,

Before I knew that my name would be published on the web, I wrote about six messages on a genealogy list.  I need to have them removed due to safety concerns.  The list administrator has not been able to do this.  May I please ask you for your help?

Thank you,
Jan Peters

This list can't help you Jan but RootsWeb provide an interface by which  
people can request the removal of (their own) posts from list archives,  
have you tried that?

<URL:http://archiver.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/remove>

regards, Malcolm.

The list-admin will need to remove the messages from the archive
(q.v.: http://wiki.list.org/x/2YA9), and then, presumably force an
update with the search indices/engines.

Refer the list administrator to the FAQ at
<http://wiki.list.org/x/2YA9>.

And, of course, your name is now also published in the public archives
of this list which is rearchived in so many places that I think it
would be impossible to completely remove your post from all of them.
