That doesn't seem to make sense. I understand I am supposed to upload my contact data so they can check if they had it, and block it from being re- uploaded? If I do that and they had my data, I am uploading it to them again, refreshing their dataset about me, making it more valuable. If they didn't have my data, well now I have given it to them? Not a good solution in my opinion.

I think, not checking if they have data is better. If you check, you make sure they have it. If you don't, they might not have it. Schroedinger style.

I only had an assbook account to follow a penpal in Australia -- deleted that account -- and then to access a thyroid patients page -- deleted that account. But I got rid of the damn contact info when my email provider ended and I had to create new email accounts, which assbook does not have. No more emails begging for money, hurrah! No more "Wouldn't you like to be friends with someone you've never heard of and have nothing in common with?"
