Except that doesn't work if you provide your "personal, friends and
family" e-mail address to your, well, friends and family, and one of them
hands it to LinkedIn, or any of the myriad other "send this to a friend"
web forms out there, then where are you?

I shudder at the thought of having to set "trap" e-mail addresses for my
friends to use.
