It gets worse:

Today's LinkedIn email listed a salesman I bought a TV from like 10 years ago . . .


Sheesh !!

The first 2 LinkedIn contacts I had seemed innocuous enough, just something I wasn't interested in doing. And for quite a while I had very very occasional requests. For some reason this year it has really picked up, and the contacts are (mostly) bizarrely distant acquaintances. People I wouldn't really expect to remember me and/or desire whatever it is LinkedIn does for them.

And it is escalating in creepiness . . .

Everyday I get more spammy emails from LinkedIn and it's getting CREEPY now.  People I haven't seen in years are turning up in my inbox and the thought of ALL of them interacting with me and each other is the stuff of nightmares.



Panic

Since when do people actually interact on LinkedIN?

I'm not actually on LinkedIn, so I have no idea what goes on in there.

And my fascination with holes is well documented . . .
