There would still only be one list...all messages posted would go to the
same list. It's just the messages that are being posted by twits that
would go through a filter first.
Of course, the open nature of the list will have to be mitigated. But
all it means is that any postings from non-subscribers will simply go
through the filter, which is good for catching spam anyway.
It's a good solution.
