First of all, as Randy has already pointet out kernel.org does not maintain email archives, secondly, the thread will be archived on a number of different sites outside kernel.org's control - there are *many* lkml archives on the 'net. In addition to LKML archives you'd also have to contact news sites that may have written articles on the thread and copied the message(s) in part or in full, and then there is any number of search engines that may have cached the thread and sites like The Wayback Machine that may have cached the lkml archives or the news sites etc etc etc... And finally you have a huge number of unknown people who may have kept personal LKML archives on their private machines going back several years - there's no way to identify those people and certainly no way to get them to remove a specific thread from their personal archives. Once a message is posted to a public mailing list (especially one as widely archived & commented on as LKML) it is practically impossible to get rid of - there's always going to be someone somewhere that has a copy. -- Jesper Juhl Don't top-post http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/top-post.html Plain text mails only, please http://www.expita.com/nomime.html
