But some people on LinkedIn abuse the equivalent of a friend request, to the point where it’s become a meme. Just do a Google search on that phrase and you’ll see all sorts of photos and cartoons with that title. Trojan horse, dog on Internet, etc.

I try to see if I know them, generally I don’t recognize the name but there are mutual friends, most of whom I don’t really know. Many of these have some kind of imagery that is related to our industry. So generally confirm those. But I am deleting the rest. Anybody on this list, if you made a friend request and I did not confirm, just drop me a real email and warn me before you do it and I will confirm. I don’t want anyone to think I am aloof or unfriendly but far more people know me than I instantly recognize on a FB request. -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com <mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com _____ -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com <mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
