I would rather people don't know. I think some people get offended... but if someone asks, I'm happy to tell them. @Journeyman – lots of people ask me this question, I think they are more concerned with not rocking the boat… I would rather people don’t know.

I remove people who I realise do not reciprocate the sharing of my connections. Seems to be fair to me and I'm happy to explain why to them. Why would one be concerned about ‘Some one finding out’?

The person I removed as a connection months back, showed up in my Network Updates under "New To LinkedIn". My email address in LinkedIn has not changed. What gives? Bug?? Its funny.

Aggravating for those lost ones who only have one address. Oh well. Dave’s comment from March is still in effect, regarding removed connections are connected to your database by email address.

More importantly, they do not receive a message that says you are no longer connected with them. @Tony – they might figure it out if they have a small network and check regularly, or have some program to compare who was in their network with how is in the network… but I think most people won’t do that.

This is one reason why I say LinkedIn is not a CRM - if it were a CRM then you couldn't remove yourself from their list/database :) @Sanya – yes, when you remove them as a connection, you will no longer show up in their contact list.
