[PD] [OT] join my at LinkedIn

[João Pais]

Since I just "joined" (that is, put my name in) Linkedin, a few days ago,  
I went to the pd list archives to see if I was in the spammer category.  
Unfortunately I was, but I don't really know how that happened. I chose to  
invite nobody from my google mail list (I also find that annoying), so I  
cannot explain how a mail presumably from me ended up here.

Resuming, I followed the steps *not* to send spam to my friends, and  
apparently something was sent. I either messed up, or they abused my  
account. Don't know about other cases, but if it happened to others as it  
did to me, either a warning mail or a blockage from linkedin domain might  
be better than banning someone for something he wasn't aware of.


Btw, if any personal contacts in this list got a linkedin mail from me,  
could you tell me about it? I would like to know how often they use my  
mail account :(
