Godin's remarks, while interesting, don't seem to apply.

Really something to think about. I can see where lists could be abused. Unsavory sorts could even use it as a black list although I understand you can block them to be removed from such a list. I spent hours creating my lists & a mere half hour after creating them I wish I hadn't. I like too many people on Twitter to want to include some & exclude others. I may be forced to write my own explanatory post and delete all my lists. Better to have not created them at all or to have kept them private. Great post. Really something to think about.
