[Ham-Computers] LINKEDIN email address

[Jay (AD5PE)]

LinkedIn uses a nasty business model.  They invite new users to "invite" all
their friends to also join (by default) - and hide this in their signup so
most new users have no idea they can say "no thanks".  And if they don't
find that switch, it emails everyone in their contacts.

Yes, that's the same model that the email viruses use to propagate!  Worse
than spam as far as I'm concerned.

By rights, LinkedIn should provide a way to "unsubscribe" through the email
you receive and then maintain a "do not send" list on their end, but since
they aren't selling anything, they claim they are exempt from CANSPAM.  They
are, but that's a technicality.

Being an IT professional, I get some strange looks from people when I tell
them I refuse to join LinkedIn - until I explain it.  Then they all want to
know how to quit LinkedIn.  Bad news is you apparently can't do that,
either.

Has anyone ever figured out how to PUT their email address at Linkedin on
their NO CALL LIST?
