   I wrote up years ago how to merge and clean out contacts, so we can look up   
   that effort but offhand, I have this app on my phone but it's been a while.

   I should note I can't even test this anymore as I consider people who save   
   contacts to be some of the rudest people out there, given they upload all   
   their friends and neighbors information to the Internet w/o thinking.   
      
   Sigh.   
      
   Since I'm just about the only person on Android who isn't rude that way, I   
   don't have a single contact in the default Android sqlite database.   
      
   I have plenty of contacts mind you.   
   They're just not in the default Android sqlite database.   
      
   The reason?   
   I'm not rude. :)   
      
   Rude people don't think of the consequences of their actions.   
   I do.
