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