As such, I consider them spam albeit inadvertent spam. I<br>request that all LinkedIn users try to figure out if there's a way to<br>disable such nonsense from being sent to NFB lists by LinkedIn and, if so,<br>to disable such messages.<br><br>This is one reason I haven't joined LinkedIn; no one seems to be able to<br>tell me whether or if I could disable such nonsense were I a LinkedIn<br>subscriber and unless I could do so, I will *not* subscribe to LinkedIn.<br><br>On my personal account, I have constructed a message recipient filter to zap<br>all such messages. You can still ask me to join LinkedIn but you're gonna<br>have to do it by direct message to me, not by accepting what I consider<br>LinkedIn's bribe for a free account, that is, allowing it to spam on behalf<br>of you.<br><br>Anyway, I'm done ranting!
