Is it too much to ask Google, really? Just add a simple option to Gmail to allow people to turn off the feature that automatically puts people you email into your contact list.
The strange thing is, Google has been making it harder and harder to remove unwanted contacts. It used to be easy to see contact details all in one list, making it easy to select unwanted contacts and delete them. Now the contract list doesn't list details, you have to click each one separately.
For a while they even had a group that explicitly listed unwanted, I mean automatically added, contacts. That made it really easy to delete them. But they took that away too.
I'm sure others have been asking for the ability to turn off this stupid feature. Google can provide all kinds of neat features - but no, they cannot turn off this one. Why the hell not?
