That's not what I meant. If anyone signed into their *own* FaceBook
account while logged into *your* Mac OS X account, then their contacts
would be added to *your* account:

The reason I ask is if the fields used for the unknown contacts are the
same, it may be evidence of a mass import of some type where only
certain fields are imported into the database.
