On request, Debian can remove spam. 12 year old spam? Already indexed in Google / on the Wayback machine ... every mail archiver there ever was. In this instance, as outlined in another email, this lady has compounded the problem because her particular name is unusual - Google for it now and the results asking for removal of embarassing stuff are #2 and #3. Moral: don't write anything in haste or that you'd be averse to someone quoting against you in later years. A very wise barrister once advised - "Don't put anything into writing that you wouldn't be prepared to see used directly agianst you in a court of law" Possibly a little excessively dramatic but still excellent advice :) AndyC -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
