Hello, and thanks for your answer. I can understand what you mean, and I don't even think I'd ask you or anybody else to remove vital or othwerise important or public information which should kept there.
In this case, I just filled an issue on a software project for which it's author does not remain contactable, plus that as I noticed later, even if he would, couldn't do anything about it (issues seems no to be something even a project's owner can remove). The issue doesn't add nothing new. As a search on this term would sprout, the issue isn't even related to this software in particular, but to a native unix/linux application called with in it (several other free sotware projects in the wild suffer from exactly the same because of this, and is a very well known bug). Also, I didn't even know my full address would be made public together with that issue. I just noticed later when I revisited such page to see if there'd had been news on it (trying with no success to contact project's owner, since then). And about tracing back and all, I agree with you. It's just that I begun using gmail, happened to had success with my activity, and so made money to move to a private hosting package. Things got "twisted" when I noticed my page came up on a google search together with this, and a google code project that I already removed and expect to get out of google's index in a time. I didn't obiously think in any of this from the begining, so if there's any chance of at least removing my name from that issue, I'd really appreciate; I don't personally care about my issue being there for the rest as long as it could't be associated with my person. So, if there's any chance, do please contact me in private (or instruct me so I can contact you or anyone else), so I can provide whatever the required details.
