my only point was that some imaginary or nonimaginary person named vinay made an account on linkedin using the email address of this list. if he would not have done that. it would not have showed on the list of users having an existing account on the site when it imported my contacts. i did not give any new email ids to the site linkedin which is not a social networking site but a professional networking site. so there is nothing wrong with the site which i joined just yesterday. there is always an option not to import email contacts or send invites to alll the other email ids "skip this step " written next to next step. its not a big deal and the site which is working at this large scale does not need spam to grow
