At least once each week for about a month, I have received Linkedin notifications suggesting that I connect with David Wyatt, a specification writer who also happens to work at my firm. We have remarkably similar work histories and connections, so it surprises me that we have not crossed paths yet. I am so grateful that we have amenities like Linkedin to help us expand our professional networks. ---

That’s a good one. At least we can be confident their algorithms can accurately identify like-minded people for us. ---

Why don’t you try to link up with him so you can reject yourself? ---

At least once a week I wonder why I subscribe to Linkedin, for me its been a waste of $$$ for leads or information. Sure I have over 500 “followers”, most leaching for leads, for a while Linkedin tried to pressure me into posting my pic, they don’t seem to understand I don’t want my pic on the internet. Still they try everytime I sign on. David, I wonder if Colin has kept track of the stupidest threads on this forum, this thread must be in the top ten. Along with the Artificial Ignorance one, it must be a slow week? Sorry, I am cranky today. ---

You are correct, Jerome. It is stupid. And ignorant. Hence the thread title. Everybody back to work!
