thanks!

here how propose doing if one-off task don't have often.

rather typing out entire process in detail, have done screencast of how did (and entire process barely took me minute do).

the quick overview:
need add few temporary helper columns unique values each email list (one each list), 'merged list' column , final column. filter unique emails using 'advanced' filter option 1 column @ time. paste values temporary column email list , clear filter. repeat until have gone through each column , each temporary column has unique values in each list. once have uniques each list, paste these 1 @ time 'merged list' column (stacking results in 1 long list) , unique filter on that. copy/paste uniques list final column, clear filter, , you're done.
