    Do you actually use different lists? I don’t really see much use to these different lists because you can’t do any group actions with these lists. If I created a group list of my motorcycle buddies, I can’t select them all and send them a message. I still have to select each one individually to create a group. And then if someone gets added or removed you have to
    create a new group again.

    How do you use different Contacts lists?

    I have Medical, Company Name (for work contacts), Project Name, and so
    on. They are simply subsets of contacts that make browsing and finding
    people easier - nothing more.

    I often ignore posts from Google. Use a real news client instead.

    No. One monolithic data base on a CardDAV-Server. I use it in Contacts
    and Thunderbird.
