Casey Brown, the Wikitech List Admin (wikitech-ambassadors-owner@lists.wikimedia.org, listadmin@caseybrown.org), directed me here for a formal submission. URL in reference: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2007-August/033144.html The above URL now contains personal and private information that needs to be removed from the public archive. The post contains my first and last name which has compromised our business disclosure agreements. As you can see by my registered email I am the original author. I kindly ask that you please remove this post from the archive. :) All the best for the great work you guys do and thanks again! Greg
Marking this WONTFIX. We generally don't remove e-mails from the archives except in extreme extenuating circumstances (private phone numbers, addresses, etc). Including your real name (especially since your real name is also your e-mail address) is not on the list of extenuating circumstances. Also, we do not control any third party archives of the list, so this won't even remove it outside of the official archive.
Can someone at least anonymize the email address or the name?

I understand you have your policies but honestly, what difference to you does it make? To me, it makes a big difference. Please.
The mailing list posting is from 2007. I'm surprised "disclosure" was detected now, more than five years after. As mailing lists are public, your information is also available in several other (third party) places that we do not have control over, like http://article.gmane.org/gmane.science.linguistics.wikipedia.technical/33460 Hence (personal opinion, I don't maintain mailing lists) I don't see much sense in editing either.
