Hiya,

I'm trying to delete my email address from a post in this thread I made 2 years ago, is it possible?

When I think of an interesting signature you'll be the first to know.

Well, I could have done what FMF suggests just now. Or, if I was a dick, I could run around and sign you up to tonnes of porn mailing lists. Or...

Just goes to show that if one actually wants to keep private information private:

1) Don't post it in a public forum.

2) If you don't know how to delete something ask discretely i.e. not on the same public forum.

And:

3) Do NOT tell the world what information you want to keep private and where to find it while asking how to remove it.

In other words, painting a gigantic target on said information, with an arrow pointing at it doesn't actually accomplish keeping that information private. Might also want to keep a tight eye on the request thread so one could delete it asap. Just a thought.

Thanks for the tips, and thanks to whoever editted the post for me before I got chance to come back and do it myself. Normally I need no help editing posts and do just look for the edit button, but I couldn't for the life of me see it

And thanks to those who decided not to be dicks. There's hope for the world yet.

That's another stalker averted. Hurrah!
