Re: New Academia.edu feature for LIBLICENSE-L

[Joseph Esposito <espositoj@gmail.com>]

People will have different views of these services.  I find them 
to be intrusive.  They require you to reveal a great deal of 
personal information before there is any opportunity to review 
the service.  I hope that the future of social networking does 
not look like this.
