[...] I am not averse to the idea of working together, through sites similar to LinkedIn. However, I am very much opposed to what seems to have become de riguer for such social networking sites, where they actively seek to sucker new users into exposing more email addresses that they can unscrupulously harvest. Because of this, I refuse to use LinkedIn, even though they are apparently a very useful site. I also think that it is incumbent on people to be aware of such practices by social networking sites that they subscribe to. If they choose to open all contacts in their email box to such spammers, in my opinion, they share the blame for the spam that results. The "punishment" in this case is also ridiculously trivial, so there is hardly any reason to complain.
