Regrettably, there is no reliable or convenient way to remove old postings 
from a public mailing list.  Part of the issue is that you're asking to remove 
not just your postings, but postings made by other people in response to the 
questions you asked in that thread.

Even if the FreeBSD postmaster (acting as list manager) did so and rebuilt the 
Mailman thread archives manually, Google and other sites which cache Usenet 
and public list traffic to their archives generally retain information about 
old postings anyway.
