Hi! The following 2 posts (pages) contain my name. Can you please remove them or make them unsearchable? I was involved in this over 12 years ago when I didn't know better. I am now a business woman and it's embarrassing.

Thanks!

LOL you did a very bad thing posting about that again. People must have
forgotten about it. But now you took the matter up again

You are a business woman AND "you know more", now. You should then know
it's useless to try to erase such message.

By mentionning those, you increased the backlinks to them and gave more
importance to them.

Finally, I dont think you really "know more", at this moment...

I thought SPAM like that was removed from lists.debian.org on request. Should
be as simple as contacting the archive maintainers -- listarchives(a)debian.org.

www.mail-archive.com is not within the control of Debian, though; you'd have
to contact them directly to see if they can remove it.

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 :)
