LinkedIn is not about solving problems. It is about hiring the right
people to solve problems. To get back to your example: you could find
someone thru LinkedIn that can arrange the flowers for you.

we are not talking about "linkedin"  ,we are talking about a technical group 
within the  "LI" network.
If you cannot keep up, there  is Lego and crayons over in the play area.

Ah, the New Media Priesthood.  Their mantra: If you
Don't Get It, we will patronize you to death.

Me, I definitely Don't Get It, and I really don't
care all that much, and I've been patronized in 
the past by people I respect a lot more than the 
Noo Meeja Vangelists, so I don't feel too worried.

Is there a LinkedIn group for elderly curmudgeons?
I'm in there...

I haven't found one, but you can start it!  I'll probably join as
well.  What is it about getting old anyway???
