You cannot "erase" that post and, although I was unable to locate it with a
cursory search, it will always exist in the Google Groups archive.

I'd guess that you made your mistake in a fairly recent post, though. This
post will soon become old enough that it drops off everybody's radar, and
the phone calls will probably stop as a result. If you want to shorten the
period of time this takes to happen, I'd strongly recommend that you not
post about this problem to the same newsgroup where you posted your personal
info- it will only attract more unwanted attention. Keep a low profile.
You may just be better off to not post to that group at all for a while.

If the phone calls are threatening in nature, you should immediately contact
the authorities. Changing your phone number will eliminate the calls of
course, but it won't eliminate the fact that the phone number in that post
can be linked fairly quickly to your home address. I say this not to scare
you but to encourage you to contact the authorities if people are being
nasty with you.

Regards,
Ian.

Are you good lookin?

Google Groups does allow you ro remove your posts, but messages from anyone
who has replied and quoted your post will remain.

You can reflect on how absolutely stupid it is to
give your personal information out on a public
newsgroup.

It's her Husband calling, I can guarantee it!

Spence
Ps: I'm not her husband
If I was I wouldn't phone her, she probably gives me enough grief at home,
so why should I? It dosen't make sence, who can it be?
One thing for sure it's not me!

perhaps you can get your phone company to block those numbers ?
if not, i suggest you unplug your phone at night for a while, if that fails
i recommend you take a different number and......don't post it on public
again ?
