While Skype may consider this to be a highly desireable and efficient method of importing data into their/your own Contacts List I, like the previous reviewer, consider this to be an unwanted imposition. Additionally, as he has also pointed out, it is impossible to delete such contacts once auto-imported from Address Book. The right-click and scroll to "Delete from Contacts" does not function, as it does with those which are self-input. I have reverted to the previous version (2.6.0.151), and will remain with that until Skype either remove the auto-import function or provide the ability to chose whether required or not . As the saying goes "the road to hell is paved with good intentions"!
