The actual problem here is that LinkedIn for some reason adds the
mailing list address to your profile as if it were yours.  Then, when
somebody tries to add you, linkedin sends an email and it picks the list
address.

I don't know why LinkedIn does this, but it's obviously not something
that the user does knowingly.  I imagine it's a bug of some sort.  I
know because I used Majordomo's moderation functionality some time ago
and was very surprised at ending up in someone else's LinkedIn account.

One reason I will never, ever join LinkedIn is that they encourage
their members to spam the world like this.  If I were running this
mailing list, messages like this one would be sufficient grounds for
getting banned.

There.  I feel better now.

How about we blacklist that subject line?  I joined linkedin and I'm
pretty sure I didn't spam any mailing lists when I did so, but we seem
to keep having this problem...

They have an option for importing your address book which I suspect is
the cause of this. It does take a few clicks to send anything though,
if memory serves.

Yes, just importing contacts does not in itself cause an invitation to 
be sent.


Sadly though, there is no shortage of people who will mindlessly click a 
buttons.


I've actually found LinkedIn to be tolerably unobtrusive. And they 
actually advise people fairly prominently to be careful about selecting 
contacts, e.g.:


   People you invite to connect will become your first degree
   connections. Thoughtfully select those people you know and trust
   because these are the people you will seek advice from and request
   Recommendations about your/other's quality of work. Because of this,
   the quality of your connections is always more important than the
   quantity of connections.


I agree with Robert's suggestion of filtering out this subject.

cheers

andrew
