37Signals Bashes LinkedIN
As a LinkedIN enthusiast, and a 37Signals user, I was saddened to see this LinkedIN Dear John Letter this am:

You have to understand that when I say it’s over, it’s over. No, we can’t talk about this. No, I don’t want counseling. I want you to leave my life. Now. Not when you get around to it. It was what it was and now it’s gone. Let go.

(Yes, LinkedIn, I’m talking to you. The fact that you require me to contact support to close my profile is a disgrace. Why on earth would you want to invite more costly support requests? And why does this have to feel like a big drama break up?)

My aplogies for copying the entire post, but it was rather short and power-packed.  The LinkedIN Bloggers group (disclosure, I'm a moderator) has been buzzing (registration req) about it today.  Apparently closing your account does NOT require your contacting support:

Closing your LinkedIn account it simple, (in fact, so simple, I almost closed my own account :).  Here's what you do:
 
Login to your account.
 
Go to the "Contact Customer Service" page at:
 
Select:  "

What does 37Signals have to gain by bashing another Web2.0 company?  They are not even competitors.  I'm very surprised, to say the least.  If you hear anything on this, I'd love to know.  You can tip me here or leave it in the comments.
