Hi all,

Oh dear, how sad:

   
http://www.itnews.com.au/News/388209,linkedin-to-face-customer-lawsuit-over-email-addresses.aspx?eid=3&edate=20140616&utm_source=20140616_PM&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=daily_newsletter

   Judge rules email practices may be damaging.

   A US federal judge has ruled LinkedIn must face a lawsuit by
   customers who claimed it violated their privacy by accessing their
   external email accounts, downloading their contacts' email
   addresses and soliciting business from those contacts.

Rich K will be _gutted_...

Nick FitzGerald
