[blindlaw] LinkedIn Has Been Made Inaccessible To The Blind

Chris,

Hmmm  That is a good question.  I will try to log in directly.  My concern 
was raised by attempting to connect to friends that were sent to me in an 
email message.  Maybe those types of connections go through a different 
security system to block out malicious attempts to log in.
