Normally, I would agree with Lidewij—in fact, I think I was at one time connected with her on LinkedIn. Then I decided to cancel my account. It turns out LinkedIn is like the Cockroach Motel: you can link in, but you can't link out. I keep getting invitations to connect to people on LinkedIn. At the bottom of the invitations is a link that tells me I can stop getting these annoying invitations. I click on the link, and it takes me to the LinkedIn log in page. Of course, I can't log in, because I cancelled my account. So I am doomed to received unanswerable invitations for the rest of eternity. Is that karma, or what?
