"The conventional wisdom is that distance running leads to debilitating wear and tear, especially on the joints. But that hasn’t stopped runners from flocking to starting lines in record numbers. But now a best-selling book has reframed the debate about the wisdom of distance running. In “Born to Run” (Knopf), Christopher McDougall, an avid runner who had been vexed by injuries, explores the world of the Tarahumara Indians of Mexico, a tribe known for running extraordinary distances in nothing but thin-soled sandals. Mr. McDougall makes the case that running isn’t inherently risky. Instead, he argues that the commercialization of urban marathons encourages overzealous training, while the promotion of high-tech shoes has led to poor running form and a rash of injuries. But when it comes to long distances, humans can outrun almost any animal. Because we cool by sweating rather than panting, we can stay cool at speeds and distances that would overheat other animals. On a hot day, the two scientists wrote, a human could even outrun a horse in a 26.2-mile marathon.

What is proper List etiquette? If someone creates a list and I'm on it, should I create a list including them? Do you subscribe to a list you're on? Subscribe to one you'd like to be on? I don't want to offend people. But I see no common sense list etiquette!
@jesshoffman I wouldn't worry about adding people back. Only if it fits your purpose for what you are trying to do with your own Lists. (A Thank You DM and some follow up conversation might be appreciated though and will likely deepen the connection.) That said, your purpose may be to flatter some people, which of course only works if they're not on a ton of lists already. If someone is on less than say 5-10, it could really make their day.
