This newsgroup scraped a response I made on a non-microsoft SQL forum. On
the original site I quickly deleted the post, but somehow it was picked up in
this newsgroup. Who do I contact about having my real name removed from
that post? It looks like it was scraped in automatically, so I have no way
of deleting or editing the post/thread.

Who should I contact about content issues on in the SQL Server programming
group?

Thanks!

Have you considered talking to the owners of the "non-microsoft SQL forum"?
Frankly once it's picked up by google at all, you can't edit it or get rid
of it.

Newsgroups don't scrape ...

It's more likely that the non-MS forum in which you posted is simply a
web-based front-end to usenet groups.

yes you are probably right that it was a front end for the group... either
way I've confirmed that this is currently the only page on the net where the
post exists

the fact that it could spread further makes it even more urgent I get in
contact with the right people to edit the page or take it down now.

Thanks

You don't understand. This is a newsnet group. The way newsnet works is
that once your post makes it to the first server it is posted on, that
server then propagates it to all other newsnet servers that host that same
group. Your post is likely already in dozens of other servers all over the
world.

You're trying to unspill milk.
