yeah, I did get all this, I think I didn't explained myself clearly
enough.
What I'm missing is:
There a Contact for every Folks::Individual right ?, when the linking
operation is done, one Contacts goes away (erased or hidden, dunno ewll
yet), I don't know how that happens. I think, after some thought, this
is some dark magic working in libfolks, but I didn't get that part much.
Anyway, I know now, I have to read a bunch of code yet, ContactStore is
the first stop.

Thxs anyway.
