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.

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.
