 Many 2nd-level LinkedIn pages - links from the home page and navigation
 bars - redirect from https to http.

 For example:

 !https://www.linkedin.com/searchAnswers redirects to
 !http://www.linkedin.com/searchAnswers

 !https://www.linkedin.com/myGroups redirects to
 !http://www.linkedin.com/myGroups

 Does it make sense to disable www.linkedin.com by default, to avoid the
 redirect loops that many high-level !LinkedIn pages create?
