while i have an account on linkedin … there’s no personally identifying information within my profile. too many stalkers 'n hackers 'n other irresponsible lunatics out there. for the times i have used it, if the other party needs my resume, i will furnish them with password to a \*.txt file stored _outside_ from the linkedin domain. my contention is there’s far more illicit behavior going on than these dot-com quazis are willing to admit. so … why a text-file and not an image- or pdf-file? simple … a \*.txt file won’t hide anything malevolent. you do the math!
