Interesting bit. The following is what you get if you try to get to Mike Angelini's Linkedin profile.
Mike passed away earlier this year. This profile handling gives a whole other meaning to the term "information lifecycle". Working on my MS we had a class devoted to the book "Information Ecology". Linkedin probably wanted some money to keep things in perpetuity. Or, this is what they probably call "The family wishes".
I find the policy (business rule) that linkedin uses in a case like this is ironic to say the least. There is no shortage of irony in information science.
