How do you handle RP contact requests? Do you accept all proffered? Why?

Beginning to wonder about this myself. Not sure why people send contact requests when they have never spoken to me. I don't consider someone a contact unless, at some point, we've contacted each other. Seems like most of the people who have sent me a contact request in this manner are pretty high up on the RP influence points. A quantitative influence point system that is based on how many contacts you have seems silly to me, because it encourages people to "contact" people that they have absolutely no connection to.
