When you ask someone to connect, they have the option to hit "I don't 
know X"

When you get too many of these, first they restrict you, then they stop 
you from inviting people.  This is supposedly to stop spam.

But then they have this "email my address book" option that is in itself 
spam.

LinkedIn is useful, but some of their policies are hypocritical.

It is also very annoying to me when I click on a link in a notification, 
it makes me log in, then it puts me into my inbox instead of the link I 
had clicked on.  If I had wanted to go to my inbox I would have.  Just 
another way of getting you to accept more connections, even though they 
allegedly want you to be discriminating.
