Appreciate this is an old project, thought you'd like to know it's still working :-)

Also you could update this message:

Heads up: this will not wipe out a list first, so you should probably create a new list and copy to that. I haven’t tested how it might behave when copying onto a non-blank list. I should merge them, but I don’t know that for sure.

It does merge them.

Tested with a list with a handful of users (some of my Twitter accounts), added the Twitter users from several other lists and it looks like everything merged nicely. Basically went from a list of half a dozen users, added several lists with tens of users and another one with ~2000 and the end result was this list https://twitter.com/GrowthHackSEO/lists/growth-hackers with ~2140 users (must have merge them as the hanful of accounts it started with are still there).

Looks like I hit a Twitter limit as couldn't merge any more lists after the ~2000 list and couldn't manually add new users to the list. Guess there's a 2,000ish limit on adding users to lists in a short period of time.

Thanks for developing this, saved a lot of work manually adding users.

Thanks! Yeah, I’ve heard some people have rate limit issues when using it a lot. And thanks for letting me know that it merges.
