Thanks to all for responding, sure I've left someone out here - sorry for that.
The response from Google Product forum was as I expected *You must get it removed from the source to have any chance if it eventually dropping off from the various search engines out there*. I have had no luck yet getting a response from the admin for this mailing list = lubuntu-users-ow...@lists.ubuntu.com or gi...@ubuntu.com. Will continue trying. Thanks for the lead on that wxl. Have not been running Lubuntu for over a year, am a very happy Ubuntu user tho. Other then the past three days I have not posted to the Lubuntu mailing list since July 2013 & I see five occurrences with my name in the month of July. Sure would be nice I could get an admin to spend 5 mins deleting my posts?
