Just select "ignore request" and the nagging goes away.
Mike has given very good advice. If I can't recall if I know the person, I write them and say "I'm sorry but I don't recall knowing you. Please tell me why you wish to link with me."
99 times out of a hundred - I never hear back from them again :-). A couple of times my ancient brain did forget I knew them.

I wouldn't do that, Jack. Reason is, your name is worth something. The implication of a connection, be it business or personal, is that you would vouch for that person. Moreover, that person *might* use your name to leverage opportunities for themselves by hitting up people in your network. That's something you may welcome your "true" contacts to do, but it's a dicey proposition to allow folks you've never met to take advantage of. Personally, I would be uncomfortable suggesting to others in my network that a relationship exists when in fact it does not.
Best,
Mike

Subject: [TN] NTC - invitations from LinkedIn
I don't know a smarter group of people to ask this question, so:
Is there any reason not to just blindly accept invitations from LinkedIn people?
I used to only accept people I know, but lately I've been getting a bazillion "invitations".
It would be easier to just accept, accept, accept...
.... but should I?
(If I DON'T accept them, it keeps "reminding" me, which is getting
annoying)
Jack
