How did I get TWO Contacts lists under OL My Contacts?

Somehow I have created TWO Contacts lists in my OL "MY Contacts" . . . one
list has the majority of my Contacts (about  200), and the other has about
25.  I can't see any common characteristic about the "break away" list that
would give clue as to how the list was created...those contacts should all be
in the one Contacts list.
This happened to me with Calendars recently, but the second calendar had
nothing on it so I deleted it.  How am I doing this...how can I avoid it, and
can I merge the renegade list to the main list easily?  Clearly I need to
take the OL course.  Thanks for any help.

It sounds like you have two contact folders. Haved you tried copying or moving the 25 items into the main folder?

OK, I successfully moved the small list into the big list, and deleted the
now empty contact folder . . . but can you suggest how I might have ever
created a second contacts folder in the first place?

Nope. I wasn't looking over your shoulder.
