If you join yourself to the group using the email address you already used 
(does not have to be a gmail one) then you can delete your own posts in the 
forum online at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/qubes-users/

There is a small adverse security point here in that Google will remember your 
email forever, but you already took that risk the first time you posted on 
googlegroups

Yes, if any evil bot is reading the emails as emails then I am already lined up 
for a spamfest.

The point of deleting the leaky posts here is that these forums are also 
readable as web pages and I can thus escape that set of email harvesting bots.

My identity will now show as trueriver rather than the email address when 
anyone looks at the posts online, the issue is that my email address got into 
your replies and those instances of my email address will not be removed by my 
setting a googlegroups alias.

I do not know at what point in the data flow www-mail does the archiving. Maybe 
it is too late to catch that one. Maybe it is close enough linked to 
googlegroups to reflect the deletes.

 Again, if it does not work its my mistake and my consequences.

Do not take more time on this than you are comfortable with, but I would be 
grateful if you can at least delete the posts from the googlegroups forum.

Many thanks
