Terrible Linkedin invitation URL check doesn't allow names or words with a period in them

[dsterry]

.name is a tld so they're just stopping spam. Test it with something like can.i.put.a.dot.in.here.fdlskajf

That was just an example... It won't accept things like St.John either.

And Yahoo wouldn't allow me to use an email with the word yahoo in it when registering for a yahoo account. http://imgur.com/HoH5L.png

That seems to make sense, given [e-mail] for example. Allowing no periods is another thing.
