I don't speak for Matthias, but I wonder out loud - what makes you think Bret 
that deleting that message from the archive will accomplish your goal? This 
is a public mail list - your original message has been propagated not only to 
this list's entire subscriber base, but, has been picked up by numerous other 
groups and become parts of other archives. You don't have a snowball's chance 
in hell of getting your info deleted from the net, if that's what you seek. 
For instance, there are various services that subscribe to lists like this, 
and turn the message traffic into newsgroup style archives...just a thought.

In all the years I've been on various boards and forums, I have never seen a 
request like yours honored - my guess is, it's a wasted effort that will not 
yield your desired result. I would suggest you need to move on and take this 
as an object learning experience.
