Steve,

Very interesting.  Haven't had that happen yet .... that I am aware of, but
will continue to keep my eyes open in that regard.  

What I have not liked of late is LI's tendency to automatically sign me up
for groups...

Also, many of the groups are becoming so saturated with advertising and
'junk mail' weight loss schemes and work-at-home-make-big-money schemes that
I've shifted to the weekly digests until the group owners are more
aggressive at banning the crap.  Flagging them just doesn't seem to cut it..

So far the IPC groups are just as beneficial, although necessarily much more
limited in scope .... 

LI is becoming too 'social', but I still refuse the Facebook and Twitter
crowd.

Shucks Louis, I guess I won't be sending you that invitation!  Sorry!  Just
kidding!

Have a good day,

Steve C

Steve, thanks for mentioning this point. I received a request from Inge
yesterday. It was nice to think one of the Technet eminences wanted to
connect with a spear-carrier like me, and I accepted. I was a bit
suspicious, since I have gotten a couple of requests from women in Texas and
California who seemed to have little to do with electronics, but did not
want to decline Inge if the request were real. 

I will be scrapping LinkedIn as well. If any Technetters receive 'requests'
from me, please ignore. Louis Hart

Linkedin HAS gotten out of control! I know that there have been many people
getting requests to connect to me that I PERSONALLY didn't send out. I'm
closing my Linkedin account because of this!

Steve
