David, I agree. In the case of the OP, I considered a BAN status. The terms of the group say that SPAM results in an instant ban. It might fuzzy as to weather an invite to linkedin qualifies as spam or not. However, I considered the intent of the OP. It was not overtly commercial and he is probably just a nice guy who would like to make some friends. (The spirit of the law instead of the letter of the law.) It is my hope that Harsh will stay with us and contribute to this group.
