Mike,
I have totally ignored LI's request to import my contacts!! No way! That
probably explains the lack of unexplained requests, etc. Would they like my
checking account number too???
Thanks for the clearing tip.
If I get someone that is very oblique as to applicability, I will sometimes
send a short note asking where/how we have met and why I should Link In.
Sometimes one gets a valid response, most of the time nothing... It then
gets appropriately 'filed'

For those experiencing dubious LinkedIn invitations, when you import
contacts (for example, from your Outlook contacts), in the process you can
permit LinkedIn to invite imported contacts. I think this little detail
escapes a lot of people, and it probably explains why you get lot of
invites from folks that you didn't think you knew. Perhaps they are
subscribed to TechNet, for example, but are lurkers, and have your name in
their contacts even though you've never actually met.
If someone has already accepted your "invitation" (intended or otherwise),
there's not much you can do. For those who have not yet accepted, go to your
LinkedIn inbox, click and in the small box to the left click Sent, then
change to the Sent Invitations tab (it's under the top navigational bar).
Find any invitation that does not say (Accepted) next to their name. Click
on the invitation's subject line, which always says Join my network on
LinkedIn. Then click the Withdraw button. If you do not find the withdraw
button, you cannot withdraw that invitation (it may have expired). The
person will not be notified. You must do this one by one if you want to
remove more than one invitation, so yes, it's a bit time-consuming.
Best,
Mike

Here I thought I was the only one hesitant to get consumed by the social
media frenzy, except for what is critical to my bread and butter. I don't
want to seem unsociable or a mushroom but my private life is private. I am
linked In to the best network
Victor,

I'm equally curmudgeonly: I refuse to participate in any social network
- at anyone's invitation. Except TechNet, of course!
