Please remove the page
That page is just spam that someone sent to the newsgroup/mailing
list. You can ignore it, same as the rest of us do.
Even if the page were to be removed, the same content has already been
posted to myriad news servers the world over, many of which archive
all posts. There's no way to remove it from everywhere.
Guess spam filtering is getting good as I don't recall ever seeing the
original message last year, thank goodness. The message in question is
not just ordinary spam. It is very specific spam, focused entirely on
one person, claiming all kinds of bizarre things, with the intent to
skew google search results to show this message when people search for
that name. Clearly the post is from a mentally ill person as it barely
makes much sense.
While it's true that this message has now been duplicated across Usenet,
it certainly can be removed from the pipermail archives. The OP can
email python-list-ow...@python.org and request it. It may not happen
but it doesn't hurt to ask.
I've already asked postmaster, which is the place where such things get
done. There was something close to 100 of these things originally.
... and I've been kicking them out of moderation at the rate of about 2
a week ever since, I think. (At least: that's what it feels like).
