And...? It doesn't matter which types of data you store in those lists. How would you return a workable query? You can't, and you'd have to jump through a bunch of hoops and use CF code to sort it all out, just because you didn't want to use a link table. This isn't about how much data is stored as much as it is about the efficiency with which you can use the data. From your example, a simple, useful report would take workarounds to produce just because you refused to use a link table and save a few hundred extra kilobytes or so.
