This could be because every time someone presents you with a clear, 
concise definition you don't happen to like, you stop replying to 
them[0].

The definitions you've been presented with numerous times *just in this 
thread* are all variations on "a list of elements of some set S is a 
surjective function L from N (the natural numbers) to S." You're free 
to involve recursive enumerability in your definition if you like, but 
be prepared for misunderstandings.
