Of course, it's just that my reply was to someone who didn't have that in their comment, only saying that all new commissions while still having old ones are bad.

Different people handle things differently though. I personally wouldn't judge someone who takes large lists because I used to as well and could handle it just fine. It's just up to the commissioner is they're ok with being at the bottom of a long list, and artists should always make sure people know ahead of time that there's a list.
