Description Raul Gutierrez Segales 2011-06-10 11:00:07 UTC 
One of our beloved users kindly reported:

 wjt | grrggrrrgghghg why are my two AIM accounts linked into one metacontact?
 wjt | does Folks auto-link all my own accounts?
 wjt | it's *incredibly* annoying
 wjt | i appreciate that maybe it's because I'm an IM client developer that it's annoyiwg 
 wjt | but surely i'm not the first to be driven to drink by this

Should we make this optional in the IndividualAggregator and then let our users (Empathy, Gnome Contacts) decide.

Thoughts?

This should be done by supporting anti-linking.
