Hi, Thanks for the heads-up.
I have just checked my email addresses registered on linkedin: I had three of them, my regular email address (this one), me previous work address, which I never added myself, and haskell-cafe, which I did not add myself either. My regular address was labeled as primary, the haskell-cafe not, and a link to "confirm" my work address was visible next to it, but not for haskell-cafe. Looking up in my emails, I have indeed received twice on invitation from the same person, once to my regular address, and once via haskell-cafe. The fact it was via haskell-cafe was not visible in gmail interface. I have removed the hasell-cafe and my previous work addresses. I don't think I have done something wrong (and I guess LinkedIn did), but anyway, sorry for the inconvenience.
