Please help me delete this post http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2153096<p>The worst part is that this comment shows up very high in Google.

You should have probably mailed Paul instead. Like this you draw a huge amount of attention to your name which is probably a lot more than it would have gotten otherwise.

If you don't want to see your name used online, don't use it online.

Email Paul directly and hope he can help. Best of luck. Things tend to work themselves out.
