I tried to remove Dave's post, which ended up as the number 1 result for my
surname in a Google Groups search. The context is missing (I called him
something, so he projected it back to receive attention). As a standalone
post this looks bad, especially to prospective employers or peers in
academia.
That post removal tool from Google does not accept the URL's. I gave up after
5-10 minutes. I don't even know how threads are handled in removal, but
there you go...

The search would be endless unless you are looking at just a few mentionings
of your name. If necessary, Webmasters can be contacted as well and have
UseNet mirrors/individual posts removed.
