Lists are a great new addition to Twitter.

I recently got to thinking (spurred on by @GLComputing - thank you!) about them in a different way.

Lists are groups of people that you've taken the time to say "Hey, this person is important to me." If that's the case, why should you need to tell The Twit Cleaner as well? You've already said it once, after all.

So, now the reports will automatically exclude anyone you've added to any of your lists (including the automated "conversationalist" list). There is a slight issue here with regards to people who've left Twitter but may still be on a list, but in general this will be far offset by the benefit of far fewer false positives on your reports.

As an extra bonus, the benefit (time saved having to check everything) increases the more people you follow - or the larger your lists.
