They just recently ';updated yahoo Profiles to accept people that you want to connect to you. This is ridiculous - since we had Yahoo 360 and most of us had people in our connections for Years!
What are connections?
( from Help) Last Updated: May 01, 2009
Connections are contacts that have a special place in your online world. These are the people you want to keep in touch with, the people you care most about sharing information with. When you connect with a friend, you both gain special privileges. You can view more information on each other鈥檚 profiles, access emails to each other more easily, and learn what the two of you are up to through Yahoo! Updates (click here to learn more about Updates).
When you're connected on Yahoo!, it's easier than ever to communicate and share with the people who are most important to you.
HOW DO I REMOVE A CONNECTION?
Open your Yahoo! Contacts.
At the top of your list of contacts, click the first down arrow after All Contacts, and then select Connections in the pull-down menu.
All of your connections display below.
Find and click the name of the connection you want to remove.
In the contact鈥檚 details, next to Connection, click Remove.
Note: Removing a connection does not remove a person from your Yahoo! Contacts. If you want to remove the person from your Contacts, click the trash icon in the upper-right corner of the person's detail page
What happens when I remove a connection?

You can visit the article at any time from any computer.
When you remove a connection simply removes your special communication privileges with that person. It does not remove the person from your Yahoo! Contacts. Emails that you exchange will no longer display on your What's New or Welcome page in Yahoo! Mail, and neither of you will receive Updates on each other's online activity.
How do I open my contacts from my profile?
Click the Contacts tab on any page in your profile and you鈥檒l see all of your contacts listed in the left column. Click a name to view the contact鈥檚 information.

Now If you didnt want to Remove a contact, and You decide that ah- the Connection is nt hurting anything,,
Well, In Yahoo Messenger You have the option of Changing what is displayed or announced and you manage that on your Yahoo Profile.
NOW On Messenger - when you see - Connected to you--it is for only you to see-and you can have 2 types oof display:
Compacted list or
Detailed list display ( 2 lines)
Here is how to change it:
If you would like to change what you view in your Contact window
Open Messenger
Go to Contacts
%26gt;%26gt;Compact details
%26gt;%26gt;Detailed details
if changed you wont see the 2 line display
++++Please note
ALL of this can now be controlled BY YOU
iF YOU DO NOT WANT TO SHARE YOUR UPDATES?
Go to your Profiles and look at your settings- Let me explain further

You have your PROFILE
This is connected to Social Networks
All Yahoo Services and Yahoo Answers.
I suggest that you take a good look and go thru the New Yahoo Profile Tutorials to help understand what is going on and what will be seen and by who and how.
You have Yahoo Messenger contact list
You have Your Address Book
Now Yahoo Profiles.
If you want to allow someone to connect to you to see what you are doing in facebook, or on twitter or what videos you are watching- you can now do that by adding the contact YOU CAN INVITE THEM or they can ask you to connect with them
