I also think (maybe) that there is an issue with Gmail's design here
as well. 

On the one hand the auto-add to my contacts that Gmail does is often
a G-d send. I know I can type an email address of almost anyone I've
ever replied to and Voila!  it is right there. 

On the other hand, there is no way to distinguish between these
passive additions to my email history vs. those I've actually WANTED
in my contacts. B/c of this, I don't even bother managing my well
over 2000 contacts (and no I'm not that popular and I'm not a
stalker). 

Since so many orgs are using Gmail as a quick way to "find" &
"connect" w/ the social network like Dave here, they should be
asked to do something about it, so that the intention behind
LinkedIn's request is not so harsh.

I'm just saying that if Gmail added some simple features it would be
better. It would make the contact list a lot more useful. This is
basically what Outlook does.
