It is very late and I am very tired. I accidentally typed
my email address in the "Sender's Name" box. Is there a
moderator that can remove this for me. Just in case, I
configured my email filters to block spam emails from
downloading to my inbox.

Hi Pat,

Microsoft newsgroups aren't moderated, and they are propagated by many ISPs
so even if your post were removed from Microsoft's servers it would still
exist in many other places.

You can have a post removed from the Google archive by going to
http://groups.google.com/googlegroups/help.html and following the directions
for #13.
