Re: OT: Networking Groups - downside?

["Gene Kim-Eng" <techwr -at- genek -dot- com>]

I don't worry that much about declining invitations, because
a large number of people someone is "connected to" simply
reflects the fact that there are a lot of people who would like
to be connected to that person for some reason or another.
It's when people request recommendations that I apply 
criteria.
