Sorry, I was not fully correct. The 3rd option should not use the *.adi file 
from the LoTW site, because it has all the data merged. You should watch 
LoTW confirmations popping up and insert them into the 3rd log log manually 
one by one... Sorry, there is no other option. That's why thwe LoTW site 
asks you, do you really want to merge the 2 accounts?...

73,
