Argue over whether or not we should have a "list of lists" page.

Jeff:  "This just ends up getting harvested by spam bots."

In some situations this is a very important feature, e.g. for list discovery 
within an organisation. List owners should be able to choose whether and to 
whom to show their list.
Real use cases:
1. user wonders where to send his message
2. user would like to know if a list on a topic exists before asking for 
creating a new one

I agree that this is a very important feature to have AND that there is serious 
potential abuses for it.  It is therfore important that it be configurably 
turned off on a site and/or individual list basis.  At http://openscg.org we 
maintain a static html file with this info in it AND we use various Subetha 
features to guard against spam as it becomes more of a problem as our usage 
expands.
