So be it. This will sound like an oversimplification, but. . .
People are different.
People behave differently.
Lists are different.
People on lists behave differently.
Some lists are seasonal.
Some lists die. All people do.

And now, for a little bit of the wisdom of the ages. . .
"We trained hard, but it seemed that every time we were
beginning to form up into teams, we would be reorganized.
I was to learn later in life, that we tend to meet any new
situation by reorganizing, and what a wonderful method it
can be for creating the illusion of progress, while only
producing confusion, inefficiency, and demoralization."
