Aye, I can see the reasoning behind that.  But it's still mildly irritating not being able to see all the contacts at once.  Come on....I'm trying to reach centralized LDAP address book nirvana here!

I guess my workaround for now is to search for "@" which seems to bring up all contacts w/an email address.
