Thomas:

These will go away automatically after 30 days, or if you want to remove 
them manually you can run something like:

$ condor_status -l -absent > /tmp/ads
$ condor_advertise -multiple -tcp INVALIDATE_STARTDS_ADS < /tmp/ads

to remove all of them, or add a constraint to the condor_status to 
select a subset of the retirees to remove.
