Want to become a part of their network? Find out who it is now" SUGGESTED CHANGE: Instead of "Find out who it is now", say something like "Click HERE to make your choice". That way the member would know exactly how to respond to the message, so that the message would go away. “Someone has invited you to be a Buddy on their profile.

"Someone has invited you to be a Buddy on their profile. Want to become a part of their network? Find out who it is now" It is not clear to the AOL members how to turn off the message. (Actually, it can be turned off by clicking on the underlined word "now" at the end of the message. This will take you to a web page where you can accept or decline the invitation.) This feature needs to be redesigned immediately, to make it clear how to turn off the message.
