The address of the list administrator is in the list headers.

The list admin has the ability to delete the message from the official
archive (it's non-trivial and he has better things to do with his time) 
but he has no ability to delete it from everywhere else (like the Austrian 
site you've referenced).  He certainly can't delete your message from my
personal mail spool and archives.

In short, once you've posted the message, it's out there forever.
