@rubendelafuente It reveals a basic hypocrisy that LinkedIn's members in general may find of interest, and is worth publicizing.9:04 AM Jul 13th from web in reply to rubendelafuente
@rubendelafuente Because the survey reveals an influential website's contempt for the very market it claims to serve: professionals.9:02 AM Jul 13th from web in reply to rubendelafuente
@rubendelafuente Also, quite separate from the subject matter, what a badly written blog entry. Who is this person?8:57 AM Jul 13th from web in reply to rubendelafuente

@xtopher1974 Public pools aren't like public schools at all. There's no legal requirement to have them. They're not a "default" value.3:13 PM Jul 12th from web in reply to xtopher1974
