My open comment …

• Please stop sharing these quizzes, brain teasers and riddles. I have you inmy contacts for professional reasons. My network is comprised of highvaluable contacts and professional business associates. I see LinkedIn asa professional network and do not consider this type of interaction as aprofessional dialog. In order to protect myself and my valuedconnections I will consequently remove partners in my network who Ibelieve disturb and distract a professional exchange. You have to valuefor yourself what matters more: the connection you have with me and thebenefit of the associated network or the gained popularity and interactionyou have through those quizzes. I do value original content and personalviews for sharing but not shared canned content which I believe onlyfuels the purpose of gaining popularity, hits and likes. I am happy toconnect back with you when you consider my view of the use ofLinkedIn and the responsibility that comes with it. If you want to connecton a personal level please send a new connections request and let meknow your thoughts.

• It was a pleasure having you as one of my valued contacts.

• Kind regards, 404WYLO12
