Well I can at least see how it could easily happen... you sign up for the service including the middle initial in your name. Then as subsequent people join (just as you would have been likely to have also been asked) they'll inquire to see whether anyone would like to send an invitation to a friend to join them on the site with whom to exchange messages and pictures. So then a friend subsequently gives your name but leaves out the middle initial along with possibly a different e-mail address they have for you. Now the system sees the names given as different people, so they treat them like they are two different classmates from the same class and the earlier one to enroll is treated like a classmate who you might know and a message is sent to you inviting you to join him along with a few other of previously enrolled people from your class.
