[thesite] request for google blocking meta tag in archive post

Hi,
Currently if a search is done on our company name, some of my archived posts
to evolt's theList are showing higher than our own website.
Naturally this is not ideal.
On Google they say listings will be removed, if the webmaster puts the
following meta tag in the page's head section:

<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW">

Would it be possible to put this tag on the following pages please:
(I added an X to the end of each link, to prevent this post from increasing
their Google Pagerank)

The above links show up before our own website.
These links might cause the same problem in the future:

I realise this is a long list, and it's my own fault for posting from that
email account, and posting the real name to a public archive, but I don't
see what else to do.
Evolt will probably always show up before our site in the SE, as it is more
popular, so these pages won't go away just by waiting.

Hope someone can help, thanks.

R i c h a r d.

PS, Is there anyway a poster could set a thread he started to "no archive",
by adding a keyword in the first post, for instance?
