IIRC, you can select which user to merge the others into. I do not
know, off the top of my head, if it permanently deletes the users, but
from what I can recall, if you view a merged user, it ultimately takes
you to the user you merged into.
That is rather circular and may not be correct, since it has been a
while since I went through and did our merging.
