[OT] Adding recruiters to LinkedIn connection list?

[Jefferson Kirkland]

That is quite the point you have made, Kenny.  I had a couple recruiters in
my LinkedIn until this morning and after reading your post, i have removed
them.  They were only in there because back in 2009 when I was unemployed,
they were in contact with me every other day.  Seeing as how I have been
re-employed for a while, its time for them to swim on their own.
