["McLauchlan, Kevin" <Kevin -dot- McLauchlan -at- safenet-inc -dot- com>]

See, this is where procrastination can pay off.

I've been 'meaning to' start a LinkedIn account for

a tad longer, until I get the all-clear, "LinkedIn 
has tightened their security and closed all those holes" 
from somebody I trust - notably, not LinkedIn and not 
Amazon...
