We just received this email from LinkedIn two minutes ago.  They are finally doing what they should have done in 2012, and that is alerting all their members, not just a few.  A

Mine is constipated by 100s of people wanting to be "friends" so they can sell me something.

I wonder the most recent Lnkd layoffs have anything to do with it..... Last firing of a internet cable company worker someone cut off all cables in a mainhole and  250,000 residents did not have internet for several days.
