Good questions. Caution is always advised.

I don't believe that your paranoia is unjustified; I just don't think
that we are really adding any news that is not already easily found. My
government file is several inches thick, whether I like that or not (and
it has some pretty cool stuff in it!). Experian, TransUnion, Equifax,
Acxiom and others know way too much about me. But that's another topic...

If there's anyone who doesn't already know I'm a GNHLUG activist, I'd be
surprised and a bit disappointed.

There's nothing that LinkedIn will know about GNHLUG that anyone
browsing the public email archives and our web site couldn't already
work out. I think this is no worse that having your membership listed on
a Chamber of Commerce or professional association site. Anyone who isn't
interested in advertising themselves or their services shouldn't join.
