Merge Lists

How do I merge two existing lists? 

I have lists in Marketo that periodically need to be synced up with lists generated off-line, and the easiest way would be to import directly into an existing list and have Marketo figure out what the changes should be.  That doesn't seem to be possible, so the next best thing would be to be able to import the new leads into their own list and then combine it with the existing list. 

Do I really have to export the current Marketo List, merge off line, then upload the results and delete the old list?  That seems like an error prone and needlessly labor intensive process.  And building a smart list that just keeps getting new individual updates added to it in the form of an endless series of short static update lists doesn't seem like a good idea either.

What am I missing?

Yeah, you could do that. Either clearing out the whole thing, or just uploading the "To be removed" list.

I would love to do that!  But every time I select "import" I end up creating a new list.  If there's a way to import INTO an existing list, that would be ideal, and if you could point out what dumb thing I'm missing, you would make my day ;-)

Wait, why can't you just upload into the existing Marketo list? It should update the leads as needed, deduplicate, and the list should be the combined set.

Do you run into a problem when that happens?
