The situation is analogous to writing a letter to a newspaper, having it printed in the op/ed section, and then you asking your local library to discard the entire editoral section for that day. Even if the library were to agree, there were thousands of other copies made and the neighboring towns very probably all have copies of that day's paper in their library archives, as well, so what's the point? A newspaper doesn't have any legal obligation to hunt down and remove all of the copies of their paper which contain the letter you wrote. Likewise, if you don't want your name to appear in the archive of a public forum, don't send content to that public forum. -- -Chuck
