   Dear Don Y:   
      
   LinkedIn lies. LinkedIn violates legal duties. Laws permit reactions   
   to illegalities, where such reactions would be otherwise illegal, if   
   such reactions would be unprovoked actions (not reactions).

   No, as well demonstrated by you.

   I do not walk when I use LinkedIn. I do actually walk when I use   
   setsid & to download a newsgroup.

   USENET discussions related to my profession are technically much more   
   advanced than LinkedIn discussions. They are the other way around when   
   they are discussions with professionals of more important   
   professions.   
      
   LinkedIn is very limited. E.g. it uses buggy text fields restricted to   
   a size of circa 1250 characters (maybe octets).   
      
   Many more persons detect LinkedIn publications, before LinkedIn   
   secretly, illegally hides them or destroys them. Thus attempts by me   
   to archive.   
      
   LinkedIn does not even offer a way to search thru comments.   
      
   Almost all the job advertisements which I post to the USENET are via   
   LinkedIn.
