Hi Folks,<br><br>I have received invitations to join some of you on LinkedIn.<br><br>The invitations are failing. I think this is occurring because they are being sent to or via <span><span></span><a href="mailto:consulting@drupal.org" target="_blank">consulting@drupal.org</a>. I think but don't know for certain that if the recipient of the invitation does not have </span><span><a href="mailto:consulting@drupal.org" target="_blank">consulting@drupal.org</a> as a registered email address with LinkedIn, LinkedIn will not allow the invitation. My reasoning for this hypothesis is that I get the following error message from LinkedIn:<br>
<br></span><strong>This message was sent to an email address that is not associated
with your LinkedIn account. You may have another LinkedIn account with
this email address.<br><br><span style="font-weight:normal">I'm happy to connect with some of you on LinkedIn and help you connect with anyone in my network that could use your services. I'm not complaining, I'm just letting you know that the system you are using is not working and I hope LinkedIn is not charging you for the failed invitation requests. <br>

( I'm not a Drupal Consultant. I am self employed like most of you and I really appreciate reading the non-technical coping and business tips; including your experiences with contracts, charging clients and scope creep. I deal with the same stuff. It's great to read honest concise information coming from a very smart community. It gets lonely out here. Thx! )<br>
