Thanks for the suggestion.

Part of the problem is that this isn't our site that they indexed, so  
I'm not the webmaster.  The site is no longer up, so the 3 removal  
conditions don't apply (returns 404, uses a non index meta tag, or is  
blocked by a robots.txt).  I don't have contact with the original  
webmaster.  And it isn't my data that's in the file, so I'm not sure  
that I can use Mark's suggestion, but maybe I should forge some  
removal requests from people who are in the files.
