Apologies to my LinkedIn contacts

This message to all my LinkedIn contacts. And a warning for anyone using LinkedIn today.

If you are a contact of mine on LinkedIn you will have recieved an email that was forwarded to you regarding a open Software Engineering position at Bungee Labs (it may have been caught by spam filters). This was unintentional on my part and did not mean to spam you. I'm sorry.

What I meant to do was to send along the message to a certain group of my contacts so it would appear in their LinkedIn inbox the next time they logged in. As it turned out the job opening mail was forwarded to all 103 of my LinkedIn contacts. Which I'm pretty pissed off about because I only realized that's what I did when i got a couple of messages back about it this morning.

I'm not blaming LinkedIn (that said, the whole UI / workflow didn't make it obvious to me that I was in fact spamming you). My mistake. Again, apologies.
