It's not exactly clear how and if there's some channel I can use that doesn't clutter his inbox I'd like to try that first.
Edit: Thanks for the tip - title changed, hopefully that helps.
If you don't mind me asking, can we know why anyone would want to delete their account?
Keep in mind that deleting an account means that all the replies to your comments / submissions would be left 'hanging' in space.
I'm not even sure if that possibility exists but since your account does not seem to be attached to anything personal as far as I can see and since you have barely posted / commented here what is the reason you want it deleted ?

I don't know about the US, but over here in the Netherlands any service must respond to a request to remove your records. They must comply, or provide a very good reason why your comments/submissions must remain. (In discussions comments can stay if required for the discussion to make sense, but the name has to go).
I read it to mean 'dave australia', if he is actually called 'dave au' then that's slightly different.

HN is not in the Netherlands, so this is completely irrelevant. (Just like when some company in the US sends a DMCA takedown notice to the Netherlands.)
Besides, does one really need to provide a valid reason to delete an account ? Isn't "just because" good enough ?

His name isn't there, it's just a non-specific alias. I read it to mean 'dave australia', if he is actually called 'dave au' then that's slightly different.
Try to hack into the HN servers and drop your records ;)
