Hello,
Org-mode keeps stealing and using my bbdb file and each time it does, it
takes forever to load because it keeps finding more duplicates entered
by gnus.
How can I remove duplicates in the bbdb file? There does not appear to
be an option in the menu and I am not able to find anything

I guess I start to understand, where your problem is coming from.
When BBDB loads

In my mail yesterday, I only thought of bbdb-complete-mail being
affected by duplicate records. BBDB's MUA interface is actually more
subtle. Here I can think of situations where BBDB can get confused
and give strange results if, say, a message uses a name

In BBDB3 (a few months old), duplicates were allowed by default.
So if you typed a substring in a mailer that matches two duplicate
records, it gave you an opportunity to choose.
As I tried to explain, the old code was broken in various ways. Yet

When BBDB loads the database, bbdb-allow-duplicates is nil, and
there are multiple records with the same name, then only the first
record with this name is hashed (so

Sure. So bbdb-no-duplicates was renamed to bbdb-allow-duplicates while
keeping the same value which amounts to disallow duplicates by default
and that is exactly what caused me all the trouble.
The annoying thing was that I kept both the default value

I recently switched to bbdb3 and couldn't find the function to merge
duplicates shown by bbdb-search-duplicates. In bbdb-2.36, pressing r in
the bbdb-show-duplicates used to merge the selected record with another
one.
The function is still the same: `bbdb-merge-records', but it used
