Well Miika, I *do* have a spare set of glasses that you may borrow :-)
Med venlig hilsen / Best regards -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: Discussion of advanced .NET topics. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] På vegne af Miika Makinen Sendt: 12. juli 2008 06:12 Til: ADVANCED-DOTNET@DISCUSS.DEVELOP.COM Emne: Re: [ADVANCED-DOTNET] Invitation to connect on LinkedIn Uuh, sorry guys! I was playing around with the "import contacts" feature and was looking for a way to "invert selected". Now, in my hastiness and word-blindness I saw a button which I swear though read: "INVERT selected contacts", to my unfortunate fate it actually read "INVITE selected contacts" instead! Was too late with esc, request had already been sent! I'm terribly sorry about this! It's not only this list that got this message, I guess I made quite a few people wondering who the heck is this guy :) Things happen, Miika On Sat, Jul 12, 2008 at 4:14 AM, R.
