For that  reason I haven't bothered with creating new lists, for years.
All entries seem to have to live in the Collected addresses and if you 
move them to any other created address book they reappear in the 
collected list so there is more than one entry for the same thing.
This is very messy when you have auto complete enabled because you will 
get 2 or more displays, one for each personal address book listing, of 
the same address.
