It took two months and several e-mails to dismiss my Linkedin account. I am not really into social networks, I just use Last.fm, that’s it. When I realized that people were still looking for me on an old Linkedin account that I had opened in 2000 on Jep advice and later abandoned, I decided to close it. But this hasn’t been easy at all. This is the e-mail that I had to write in the end to the Linkedin guys to achieve what I wanted.

To whom that might concern,
I am very, very disappointed to find out that, despite my numerous e-mails and after more than two months since my first request to dismiss it, my Linkedin account is still visible. I am really sorry to write this, but if my account is not going to be removed immediately I’ll have to use every legal mean in my possess against this illigal violation of my privacy.
