True.  I got lazy, and mixed together sentences that are addressing
both people in the cited material.  Also, I didn't want to get into
the whole gendered pronoun issue.  Not in such a short email.

P.S. I'd consider "goodlist" and "badlist" as replacement terms.  They're
short, both in terms of syllables and characters.  Even shorter than the
originals!  That's a good thing.  "Allowlist" and "rejectlist" both add
a syllable, and the latter also adds characters.
