This is great.

But even though I withdraw my invite, the invitation still sits in their inbox so when a month from now that person gets to it they get confused. My wish is that Linked in exposed the list that they are mailing. Do I really want the random guy from Craigslist joining my network. I'm surprised there isn't a larger outcry to their traps.

Is there a way to opt out from receiving such emails, for those who are not on Linkdin to begin with?

You could probably set up a filter, but this is sort of like asking if you can ask the USPS to not deliver any mail from a particular individual.

LinkedIn's customer service has a tool that will remove all of these for you and remove them from the recipient inboxes (on the service, obviously it can't remove the email copies) as well, should this happen to anyone else. It was mentioned in the aftermath of the Matt Haughey LinkedIn situation.

Man, I hate LinkedIn. This is a perfect example of why.

Do people actually take their service seriously?

to be honest, don't you think this is more of an issue with how linkedin is using sendgrid instead of sendgrid itself?

Why did that require a loading screen and 'widgets'?
