> I'm not following... you're getting emails from LinkedIn even though you haven't signed up? You mean those 'I accidentally clicked a button without reading it and it spammed all my contacts' emails from current members? As with many others, I get these constantly: "I'd like to add you to my professional network on LinkedIn." with seemingly no way to disable them. You can stop them for that one person's 'invitation', but invariably someone else will start the process over again. I have a filter set up that sends all LI email to trash > Ironically, LinkedIn is the only site I've encountered where non-members get more access than (free-tier) signed in users. I can't even imagine how this is defensible. This kind of behavior doesn't give me any reason to want to make an account.
