You can't, which is a good thing (not based on the contents, but in
general).

Yup, sucks. I mean:
http://groups.google.com/groups?q=bokma
- john bokma al jazeera programmer?
- As for Bokma's "hack attempts" on your web server,....
- Ping Mr scary Seo Expert John Bokma
I mean, the terrorist and criminals keep emailing me requests for quotes
:-D. (some want to pay me in drugs, women, camels [1], (or a
combination) and even diamonds).

I always called Usenet similar to a pub. I wouldn't take an employer
serious who asks me during an interview about my "Al Jazeera"
activities. I mean, I can't work with someone with zero clue :-D.

If you're the author, can prove it, it can be removed. I have seen
people doing it (which is now and then sad, because their activities are
archived in other places, moreover, the missing message makes clear
something fishy happened).

In short: if you don't want to be archived, don't post on Usenet :-D.
