I'm not sure it is possible to have a public post removed from the
archives; but if it is, pgsql-admin would probably not be read by
the folks with rights to do it. I'm moving this to the pgsql-www
list with a blind copy to pgsql-admin.

Nor is it even reasonable. The archives are archived all over the world
by mailing list companies like noodle and markmail.

No, its not. You cannot purge a post from all mirrors etc. Its a
mailing list, not a centralist forum or newsgroup.

Cheers,

I believe there is a general project policy against altering the
archives; they're historical records which are valuable only to the
extent that they're accurate and complete. It seems a bit silly to be
asking to suppress a post more than two years after the fact, anyway.
Even if we did remove it, there would still be copies available from
google, the Wayback Machine, etc etc.

regards, tom lane

I assume it's in usenet archives as well since it's gatewayed onto there too.

As others said, even if you removed the copy we keep, it's archived at
plenty of other places.
