Re: BLU LinkedIn group and recruiters

 My rule of thumb has been to deny anyone who looked like 
a recruiter and had a LinkedIn profile showing them as 
being somewhere other than the Greater Boston area. 

Requests from profiles that are listed as in the Greater 
Boston area, I examine more closely before deciding, but 
I lean toward denying recruiters by default.
