Time for me to close my account. I've already been getting lots of unwanted sales emails, and I doubt what privacy I do have with LinkedIn will necessarily be protected, particularly as they haven't even bothered to tell me of the impending change of ownership. MS are buying this as they think they can exploit the contents of the database, otherwise they wouldn't be throwing money at it. I only saw this by chance! I'm not impressed at the lack of transparency with members.
The most shocking fact about war is that its victims and its instruments are individual human beings, and that these individual beings are condemned by the monstrous conventions of politics to murder or be murdered in quarrels not their own. Aldous Huxley

On a good day, our legislature has the prestige of a drunk urinating on a wall at 4am and getting most of it on his shoe. On a good day  ::) Steelgrave

It's kind of silly to investigate whether or not a Clinton is lying. That's sort of like investigating why the sky is blue. Banzai_Cat

After two major security breaches in the company's life, too.  Yeah.  This is yet another reason I will never join LinkedIn.

Good point. I'd forgotten about that.
