Sorry, but there's several things working against you. Even if we could
edit bugs, we can't stop archival services from capturing the pre-edit
version. Worse, your mail to help-debbugs is also archived, so this
request is only serving to call attention to your gaffe; unfortunately,
in this modern age, such an action can have the unintended effect of
actually magnifying the problem instead of eliminating it; see
