merrily?
i'm not saying that we just walk in and zap a shitload of accounts. in 
fact, i was happy we had so much talk over what the best way to query 
for them was.

if an account has the same email address, i'd call that a genuine 
reduadant duplicate(?). we'll know which ones they are because the query 
will tell us. if a person hasn't logged back in to evolt within  a year, 
i think its safe to say that they won't have a reaction because they'd 
probably forgot about us/their accounts/ in the first place, no?
