I don’t wanna do your dirty work. No more.

&gt; Hey Sudheendra, Do you know Vivek? With 2.5 years of experience in PHP he seems like a good fit for our <i>next big startup</i>. Thanks to LinkedIn, I noticed you are his 1st connection. Would you mind connecting us?<p>Wow. &quot;Uh, no&quot;? &quot;Go away&quot;? &quot;Leave me alone&quot;? I&#x27;m not going to help someone spam my friends.

Perhaps I misunderstand English but how is asking for a referral as in &quot;Do you know any good developers?&quot; a BAD way to ask for a referral? And how is asking about a specific person&#x27;s abilities a better way to ask for a general referral?<p>If you are new to the area and are looking for a good pizza place: Good: &quot;Hey, do you know of any good pizza places around here?&quot; Bad: &quot;Is Tino&#x27;s over on 4th any good?&quot; The later asks about a specific location, and doesn&#x27;t tell you if there is anything better. Nor does it help you if the answer is &quot;No&quot;
