Mr (Mrs?) Jackson,

Your phone number shows up in even more pages if you click on the
"google search" google button. The reason is that the address to which
you posted your 2004 request was and is the one of a public mailing
list. As *explicitly* written on the OpenOffice website
(http://www.openoffice.org/mail_list.html):

>all our lists are public.  They are not private message centers.

Unfortunately, when you posted your request to remove the 2004
message, attaching it, to the [email protected] addresses, you just
made your phone number appear in _more_ pages, see:

http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=users&msgNo=148629

since the archiving procedure is completely automatic. Please also
note that:

* as explicitly stated on the mailing list pages and already brought
  to your attention back in 2004:

        http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=users&msgNo=57678

  I or anybody else who answers to messages at [email protected]
  are volunteers without any administrative access to the website,
  hence no possibility to remove anything from the archives

* you can try to contact the openoffice.org webmaster, but even if he 
  or she did what you asked, the pages with your number are also in
  Google's cache: click on "google search" instead of "I'm feeling
  lucky" and follow the "Cached" links to see what I mean). Google
  would continue to serve its cached copy even if the openoffice.org
  archive disappeared.

I'm sorry, but I don't think it's possible, at this point, to get what
you are asking for.

Best Regards,

        Marco Fioretti
