I'm pretty sensitive to spam in general, and the last thing that I would do is to intentonally spam someone. Not only that, I do honor remove requests as soon as I possibly can; I maintain my list on both my work and home machines, and try to keep them in sync.
That being said, I have to also add that I do not add people indiscriminately; only after they have requested that they be added.
I'm looking forward to any sort of additional management mechanism that would help everyone as far as that is concerned.
And yes, I'm back from my "northern sojourn" of a vacation, and yes, I'm very tired...[g]
