My favorite recently was when one associate endorsed another for "LinkedIn Endorsements!"
Yeah, it's a racket; it's LinkedIn's equivalent of mindless "Likes" I keep getting endorsements for SQL Server. I did a _great_ presentation, if I say so myself, on the new features coming up in SQL Server 2000 at the Miami FoxDevCon 2000, and I have worked with it a few times since, reluctantly, even getting ODBC and the TDS driver working on a BSD box, but I am not an expert and would prefer NOT to get endorsed for a technology I don't recommend. What can you do?
