Please disable this as soon as possible.  All it does is insert random
items into my "all items" list from random people who I have exchanged
email with (which gmail automatically seems to have classified as
"contacts").  And I need to opt out for each of these random people
with the overhanging threat that more may pop up for me to play whack-
a-mole with after they have posted more garbage which gets foisted
into my "all items" list.

This feature is ill conceived and ruins normal usage.  Please disable
it as soon as possible.
