Perhaps they have changed. At least the fact that they want it erased shows that they aren't proud of their former spam anymore, which is a step in the right direction. Of course, an apology to the list for the spamming in the first place followed by an explanation stating that Mr. So-and-So who was pro-spamming had been fired, would be even better, but you can't expect too much. :-) Seriously, though, even though someone could find the posts on Google, that's not good enough for a removal. The person or organization requesting the removal absolutely must state precisely what they want removed if they have any chance of it happening. Ted
