Right. This is a design flaw in the whole rich-object buddy system EB keeps. 
Each account has a complex structure associated with it, which on the plus 
side allows complicated protocol-supplied data and contact bindings, but on 
the other hand requires it to be a member of a contact and therefore on the 
contact list.

Do you have any suggestions for avoiding this? Because I'm kinda stumped...

Anyone for a group chat (IRC?) to chat about this and other things sometime?
