I no longer connect with any requests unless they include a personal message in the request, because they're either a "legitimate" connection trawler, or (I suspect) LinkedIn making the request "on behalf of" the "requestor."
The last time (among many) that I accepted a generic, canned message request, I waited a week for the guy to say something to me. Nothing, and I dropped him.
One problem for LinkedIn is that they have not made themselves so obviously above-board that a suspicion like mine would be implausible.
