Okay, this lurker will bite on that one. I see all the list
personality types you mention, do you see my "need to organize" types?
These are the ones who, well, I won't even speculate as to motivation,
but need to keep Lists of Things. And they write me, as list-owner to
ask if anyone keeps a list of (whatever) and if not, could they? Being
the benevolent dictator I am, I always say "okay, you're now the
official Member Birthday List Keeper" (or whatever, I think out of
about a thousand on my list, there's probably 10 or more official list
keepers of something). And they do it, periodically they post either
their list or a portion of it or that members can write them to get a
copy. And when they get sick of it, there are others wanting the honor
of stepping in their shoes. It boggles me, but then again, I never see
the need for a list in the first place. And if it keeps 'em happy, why
not? Mail list titles are cheap.<g>
And don't we all have the list police, the ones who point out every
waste of bandwidth/minor infraction (talk about a waste of space)?
And the list urban legend passer... and the list urban legend
buster... and on and on and on and on...
