Could people on this list please refrain from spamming this email with requests to join LinkIn (and that includes Mike Godwin), as I have no interest in joining.
Thank you.

That's an artefact of having a semi-open mailing list; I've been subscribed here and on other WMF mailing lists for nearly four years, and the incidence of spam seems to me to be be minimal and short-lived; it follows that it's not a great problem, but if you find it to be so, your mail reader may be configurable to exclude such posts.
HTH.

They're sent out automatically from the LinkedIn (or whoever) system with consent of the named sender. It usually happens with people selecting to "invite [their] friends" and giving the site access to their email's address book. Combined that with webmail usual tactic automatically of saving all incoming and outgoing email addresses.
I thought some rule was going to be added to automatically reject/blackhole such emails?
