But being a LION doesn't mean one accepts all invites. Just means "one is open to invite". Not sure, being a linkedin member means we should make money for linkedin management. It is a free market system, what is best will survive :-) John, understand your concerns. But being a LION doesn’t mean one accepts all invites. Just means “one is open to invite”.

It is a free market system, what is best will survive :-)

It's not a contest to see how many contacts you can make. The quality of your network is as important as the size of it. If you have contacts from industries or areas where you have no interest or no knowledge they typically aren't much value. Even worse, if you don't know anything about those contacts and for example, one has been convicted of bank fraud, insider trading, or worse - is that what you want in your network? You should actually know the contact or be in the process of getting to know. Adding your email to the subject line is absurd - it makes the paid version of LinkedIn less valuable to those who pay for it - however I have to blame LinkedIn for allowing email addresses in the user name. If they really wanted to eliminate it they could easily but again - they did not intend the Name field to be email - that's where there is a separate email field. Kudos for exploiting that feature but sometimes a little respect for the service you use is needed. Actually some of these tips actually defeat the purpose of LinkedIn and networking in general.
