Google indexing items in this discussion database

Please could you remove the following thread from the database...'Behaviour
of links' (Question posted on 10/27/2006).

I have discovered that this item has search engine visibility. I (maybe
foolishly) included a sample of HTML which contained the name of the
organisation for which I'm building the website. Now when you type this name
into Google, the discussion thread is listed in the results. This is not
desirable, and is particularly frustrating when Google 'sandboxing' means
that the live version of the website is not yet showing up in Google !

Has anyone else encountered this problem ? Could Microsoft maybe prevent the
SE robots from delving into the discussion threads ?...or at least warn forum
users that this might happen ?

(By the way, I solved the 'behaviour of links problem' eventually)
