Hi, I fully agree. When I was on LinkedIn, I saw in my "proposed 
contacts" at least one people I didn't want to see(for personnal and 
complicated reasons I won't reveal here). The only way to make the link 
was to read her address book(or worse). I write "worse" because, yes, I 
couldn't think they could do such a thing than reading mail, but I read 
or heard something about this. I though it was on this list but after 
verification, it seems not. It was about an attorney service. They don't 
have the right to talk to the opposite side, or it could create very 
bigs problems. However, the opposite side received an invitation to join 
this attorney's network. It created huge problems, they had much work to 
calm the hurricane it made in the justice institutions. The only way to 
make the link between both of them was to read mails where opposite 
side's adress was written in the attorney box.

I closed my account(after having send a mail to my contacts that 
probably did have no effect) when I realized that this site with a 
professional layer were in fact just like the other ones and I don't 
understand why so much activist geeks are on it, especially because I 
don't have the feeling that employers use it so much in france(but I may 
be wrong).
