As my BBDB grows (a mere 1300 entries yet - I filter out most
list traffic), I'm beginning to run into this interesting
situation: something comes in, probably on some list I don't
filter out, from someone I've never heard of, and BBDB decides
they're probably the same someone as some existing entry, even
though their net address is different - so it asks whether to
add this address to that other one.

Now, since this is someone I don't know, this is rather a hard
question for me to answer.  Further, the answer I'd like to give
is "make the entries separate for now; I'll merge them if it
ever becomes apparent that they're the same," but this seems not
a choice: you can merge them, or you can lose the current
address, but you can't make a new entry.

There are people on this list with ten times the number of
entries I have; how do y'all deal with this?
