Yep!!! Best one-liner analysis I've ever read about that problem!

I'd add that splitting the list would /increment/ the overall traffic of 
people belonging to 3: they'll have /two/ lists where to post!

From my experience people belonging to the 3rd category have found a 
way to break space-time continuum: they can post the same amount of text 
to any list they subscribe, regardless of how many these lists are!


:-D
