LinkedIn seems to have a more intrusive policy. Am I the only one who gets LinkedIn requests from people who didn't mean to send them?

I get requests to connect on LinkedIn about once every two months. When, as they usually do, they name actual acquaintances, I write to explain that I don't much do the social media thing and ask them not to take personally that I ignore their requests. More often than not, the reply is that they were just poking around LinkedIn out of curiosity and didn't mean to send anything to me or anyone else about it.
