yes, but most people only have enough money for so many cars, or can only
drink so much pepsi or coke. an admin can use as many or as few of the
lists as they want without any cost/limit. when you go to buy a car, you
generally buy just A car, when you go and get a soda, you get one soda at
a time, but with spam relay lists, you pick whichever one(s) you decide
are best, and use them all together.. there's no reason for them having
to compete for users
