Chill, everybody.  It wasn't sent to you personally, it was sent 
to Vtbird (notice the greeting, "Vermont"?) because these crappy 
things send to every address in the person's address book 
inviting them to join.  I've never heard of this one, but that's 
the way similar other ones work and I assume it's the same with 
this "linkedin" thing.
