Who receives you
LinkedIn does not publish a count of who receives this data.
None of the recipients on file are entities this site grades yet. That is a gap in the corpus, not a finding about LinkedIn.
Right of reply
LinkedIn has not been written to yet. When they are, the invitation and any reply will appear here — including if there is no reply.
