[SFDXA] OT- LinkedIn Network - what is it

[Kai Siwiak]

Hi Norm,
LinkedIN is a professional network where folks post resume-like bios 
with the expectation
of developing professional contacts and perhaps leads to professional 
employment. As a consulting
engineer, I have found LinkedIN pretty much useless. Facebook, in 
addition to being extremely intrusive,
and invasive of privacy, is also a waste of time in my opinion.  Please 
be aware that by joining
ANY of the on-line social networks you relinquish control of ALL 
material that you post. The material becomes
the property of, and is owned by that social network provider.

On another score, I urge everyone to lie like a bad rug whenever you 
must supply info on-line, as to
register products and so on. Lie about your age, sex, and if possible, 
about your background.  Give
no correct personal data to anyone!
