This is an interesting view.  Why would someone with a list on the
same subject be competing?  It's just a different list that covers the
same topic.  It's allowed.  Tho I don't see why someone would want to 
start a list on a subject when there's already one that exists.

Tho now that I think of it, if I had the choice between two lists on the
same topic where one had advertising and one didn't, I think I'd join
the latter.
