 * Hi,
 * I want to split categories unrelated to each other into different lists on the
   sidebar.
 * Pity me, I thought this would be easy. I placed the wp_list_cats tags twice in
   the sidebar, excluding the cats I didn’t want to be shown in each and then discovered
   that only one of those tags issued categories (correctly excluding the others),
   but the second tag didn’t. The result is a “no categories” slugline where there
   should be the second batch.
 * Short of handcoding them in link by link, how do I do two (or more) cat_lists?

 * Is there truly no other way but hardcoding this?
