If you wre not aware, LinkedIn is like facebook for professionals.  
Unfortunately, the website is not clear when it asks if you want to find 
other colleagues.  It asks for your email address and password (Yes, I 
know!) and gives the impression it is going to search it's database for 
anyone in your address book.  While it may do that, it also spams 
everyone in your name.

You should not tar and feather the users becase they were mislead by the 
site designers.

Cheers
