To clarify Liz, Linked In doesn&#39;t have your email address.  They have <a href="mailto:wlug@wlug.org">wlug@wlug.org</a>, and that contact opened X hundred emails.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Mar 23, 2012 at 7:21 PM, E Johnson <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:iris.gates@gmail.com">iris.gates@gmail.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>
