I have 323 listed in "All Contacts" and 306 listed in "My Contacts". When I click on "View Suggestions" it says there are none. So what are the other 17 contacts? When I browse through the "All Contacts" list, I can plainly see some craigs-list addresses, so I know the suggestions are mixed in there. It seems like Google wants us to store every e-mail contact we've ever made, no matter how insignificant. I don't want that crap cluttering up my contact list.
