This is usenet.
The group "comp.os.linux.hardware" is *not* a
mailing list.
There is no (easy) way to delete posts.

Each server can have a copy.
And each server can decide to keep or delete it.
Meaning that each server can distribute a copy
again and again.

Usually there is an expire time, after that the
posts are deleted, but, as written above, this
can be different from server to server or it can
be some server decide to keep it forever (archive).

One of the problems is also that there is a weak
connection between a person asking to delete a post
and the fact that this person was the original author.

In other words, how can you prove you were the author
of the posts you asked to delete?
The email address in the posts is not a valid
authentication mechanism, since anybody can put
anything there.

bye,
