My best advice at this point is to move on. I'm sorry we apparently merged you erroneously, but seriously? There's a profile that belongs to your friend with nearly identical email, overlap in contact emails, IPs, etc? Don't share your stuff.
Because we can't tell reliably which things belong to you and which belong to the owner of the other account.
And because account merging and unmerging is technically tricky.
The vast majority of merges are user-requested. Automated systems go through a lot of checks first as well. To be perfectly honest, I'm not 100% convinced you don't run both accounts yourself. I'm taking your word for it, but unfortunately there's only so much I can do to separate them again and we're pretty much at the limit there.
@bjb568 It doesn't in principle (so long as there's no cross-voting, etc. Which, to be clear, there wasn't here as far as I know), but we don't officially support multiple distinct accounts per person and in most cases it's people accidentally creating multiples.
@JasonC "There shouldn't be." (TM) Seriously, no. Automated merges are rather conservative.
Well, warn before doing a potentially destructive action, always. Preferably me, not just a robot that rubber-stamps everything based on IP (like that's accurate).
And... why the hell is the log out button on the site drop down? Is it a site?
@AnnaLear How about not letting users log themselves out at all, then put a log out button on everybody else's profile page. Then community vote can be required to log somebody out.
You can have more than one way to sign in registered with your account. Google, Facebook, etc.
For as long as we support that (or logging in with third-party providers), we can't replace that... but that would be a logical place for a logout link as well, yeah.
@AnnaLear Yes, with the cost of confusing people, cluttering the space, making it look like you're building features for the sake of it, especially if nobody uses it.
I don't think you can say we're "building" it. This has been in place for years. I agree that it's confusing as hell, but we're kind of stuck with it now. I'd like to work out a saner system... might get to that next year? Not sure.
Instead of cookies for every site, make it a SE login, one page (stackexchange.com/log(in|out)), one cookie, one openid provider. No signup for individual sites. No damned account merging!
Hold on, let me look up this super up-to-date schedule we have that will definitely never be deviated from because that's how software development works. ;)
All I got is that it's currently on the roadmap and we don't plan that far ahead.
What do you guys work on, anyway? It's like every once-in-a-while, I see a meta post by Shog or somebody like "Everything is crap, I'm changing it!", then the 10kers say hooray and I dunno what happened. Or like today the recommendation CV reason changed it's wording.

For a bit there was a sort of "beta" review queue for broken links at yoursite.se/review/links, you can still see the stats for that queue at http://meta.stackexchange.com/review/links/stats. However trying to review more bad links gives me a 404 page. I assume the queue was taken down.
What hap...
