It's only Linkedin not bank accounts -- not that most people's bank
accounts are much to worry about either :-)
But what's dumb is that what they're asking for with that policy is a
big headache for themselves when accounts get messed up, whatever
pranksterism or nefarious deed, I dunno, spamming from someone's
cracked acct is a good example, and Linkedin's staff has to deal with
each and every one.
Maybe they lack imagination as to what they might be getting
themselves into.
