He probably accidentally mixed up an email address with a list
address.  i have done it.  The fault i see is with LinkedIn.  It does
not warn you that the invitation was not sent to an email address you
have registered with LinkedIn.  Computers are supposed to help
eliminate human error, not expand on it.  LinkedIn failed.  Glad
LinkedIn doesn't write ePrescribing software.

Then again, maybe i should give LinkedIn a _little_ slack because i am
a member of OLUG on LinkedIn?  Conceivably, olug at olug.org is
recognized as a legitimate sender to us via our LinkedIn OLUG.  Should
at least warn you it was sent to a group instead of a registered
personal email address.
