Stijn,
If I did it right, I think you will be getting a group join request from me shortly.
Cheers,

[svandamme]

[cstreit]

Sent my request. LinkedIn has been a good resource for me over the last 4-5 years

[svandamme]

Dave, like a told you, it takes money to make money
i'm still waiting for that 5 large VIP membership fee you promised me
patience is running thin

I work for EMC, and some people think I am impossible to deal with.

Little update, regular new members, it's growing slowly but steadily

i'm also getting unknowns requesting to joint
i suspect to many dorks think they should joint the group simply because it looks cool
or because they think they need to network with people who have money(if they knew me, they would probably reconsider) and success.


for those who want to join , please make sure to PM me first
it's the only way i can make sure it's a member of the board who wants to join


do include first name , last name and email adress so i can put you on pre approved list
and send you the link to join


btw Dave,
where. is. my. money. ?

[svandamme]

bump

and a reminder: no applications are accepted without a PM via Pelican Parts...
the group is for Pelicanparts members only, and a PM is verification

i get the feeling to many are trying to get in, that have no relation with PP or PPOT

[mikester]

PM Sent.

[svandamme]

all sorted

[masraum]

Oops, when I joined a few weeks ago, I didn't know about the PM deal. Sorry. Fortunately my name is unusual enough that it had to be me.

I've looked through the members. It's an interesting mix of occupations and folks.

It sure is... quite a mix!

Is there any good way to let the others in the LinkedIn group know your PPOT handle? Some of the folks in the group are recognizable because their real name is partially represented in their screen name, but I'll sometimes look at someone there and wonder who they are on the board.

FWIW, I think I'm the only Grant to date

[onewhippedpuppy]

I don't think I really want to put "onewhippedpuppy" on my LinkedIn page.

For me, just look for Matt J.

Exactly the problem... I don't want any professional contacts reading the drivel I spew here

[svandamme]

That's one of the reasons i'm trying to keep the group exclusive, and only via PM or other form of a heads up.
I keep getting requests from complete unknown's, some who are member of 20-30 or more groups...to me that tells me they are just network whoring...

So with the added requirement, at least we can assume there's a 95% chance that anybody in the group, is indeed somebody who posts on this forum...I don't require 10 000 posts or an otherwise regular post count, just basic membership, that predates the linkedin request for a least a short while...
