I wasn't pissy about them resetting my password, I was scared that my LinkedIn account and who knows what else had been compromised in relation to the Gawker incident.
It was a good move by LinkedIn to force a password reset. It would have been a GREAT move if they had told me it was precautionary instead of me having to guess why my account was locked.
