Sherwood-841 and Sherwood-218 appear to represent the same person because: Rick: you're the manager of both of these profiles. -841 is one of the profiles I discussed with you. Rather than edit it, it is more productive to simply merge it into -218, which is really the person it was intended to be. After merging, I will happily clean up the bio. Alternatively, you could make me a trusted part to -218 and I will complete the merge and bio cleaning.
