One concept I'd like to get across is that the list switcher will switch you to a different list, but show you the same screen This is actually really helpful For example, if you have to change every privacy policy of every list you have Sorts of lots of concepts to get across in a little space

The brilliant thing about the way you've designed that function, Justin, is that it's perfectly intuitive So we don't need to explain any of those concepts "in such a little space": the first time people try it, they'll realize that it "just works " :-)

Without the button, you may not know what that select box is for What may be better would be simple have some copy up top saying:

Switch to another list: [ select box ]

Or even more succinctly, just

Switch list: [select box ]

Beautiful And easy enough to put into 2 10 -- despite my recent rant suggesting that all these JavaScript "distractions" be delayed 'til 2 11 -- because F G has already done the work for us :-)
