Even if you could remove it from ruby-forum (and posts can be removed  
from the associated google group, but only by someone with he right  
permissions) it wouldn’t do a whole lot of good as it has already been  
emailed to several thousand people.

Sure, but if you say something on the forum/group when you’re not  
thinking terribly clearly, you might want to delete it so that  
potential employers (or anybody else) won’t come across your half-  
brained idea by doing a google search for your name. People on the  
list will hopefully forgive you, but you might not want the record  
posted for the world to see forever.

This is an email mailing list. What you say is final and will be  
propagated out to thousands of people and plenty of archive sites  
easily found via Google.

Just be careful of what you say if you’re that worried.
