My heart skipped a beat when I saw myself on here. Then I saw I was the target. For the record I am morally opposed to inbox harvesting, although LinkedIn keeps &quot;recommending&quot; that I do just that.<div><br></div><div>

Correct me if I am wrong, but by looking at the way the message is created, I think, LinkedIn is acting a kind of spammer these days. Shall we lodge protest against it as a community?<br></blockquote><div><br></div></div>
<div>What happens is that anyone who joins is pushed to run their contact list through them &quot;to look for connections&quot;, then LinkedIn sends an invitation to any address not already noted as a member.  So it&#39;s spammy but in an especially slimy user-initiated way.</div>
