When joining Red Hat I felt suddenly so professional that I have finally
opened my LinkedIn account. Since then I wondered why I did so and
whether there are any benefits of having been constantly spammed with
various spew LinkedIn decided to throw in my direction. With every email
and every other drop in the endless (but small, I admit) annoyance my
tendency to delete the account grew. Finally `Stephen’s blogpost`_
reminded that now is really time `to do so`_. So I did.
