Norm,

I have no problem with the concept of a suggested contact function.
After all, you've signed up for a social site for business contacts.

Here's one that recently connected with me, using false pretenses:

LinkedIn is intrusive, it uses your contacts list to cross reference

contacts and 'suggest' others to link to.

Before or after leading them on for an hour or so? Domestic or foreign?

I like to regale them with tales of creating screens with scroll bars and
radio buttons, and then put them on hold while I go back to real work. Or
even lunch.

Same here, and same opinion. I have rarely met a headhunter that didn't
need a good killin'.

Hey folks,



Just a heads up. I've gotten a slew of head hunter requests from people I
don't know wanting to be linked in to my linkin list. Needless to say, I
don't know them and they're being denied. No clue how they're finding

me.

However, that being said, be careful because many of these folks are only
interested in milking your contacts for all they can and doing little or
nothing for you.



FYI
