I wonder how much of it might also have been due to that, e.g, people generally enjoy helping other people, and so are likely to respond positively to what appears to be someone else outlining what they'd "like" for you to do.

Because at the time no one knew what LinkedIn or social networking were, so most users wouldn't know if the invite was spam or not, whether accepting the invite would help the other person, etc. Today there's more social pressure to accept LinkedIn/Facebook/etc invites from people you know.
