Hi Blaine,

I had added a photo to one contact the day before but it was not my  
personal contact info. But the issue is that the photo that showed up  
was not one that was attached to any user in the Address Book ... I  
could understand if the photos were the same but that is not what  
happened ... I've had many conflict messages when there was no  
apparent difference.
