I want to do an email outreach test/experiment, and do that I need to break my list into two groups. Easy enough to assign people to an A targetting list and a B targetting list, but what is the best way to randomly break the list in half?
Thanks in advance.

Here’s hoping someone at the NB team can think up a creative way to approximate a sampling with the existing search tools. I bet there is one, but I wasn’t able to find it.
You can get just a little bit random by searching
Name: " A%"
Because of the preceding space, that will sort of get you everyone with an “A” last name, but it will also get you people with an “A” middle name, or just anyone with a space followed by an “A” anywhere in their name. You can save it as a filter, so if you create 26 alphabet filters you might be able to use those to quickly add to two lists. But of course that’s going to be really sloppy…
I would love to just be able to get all even NationBuilder IDs and all odd NationBuilder IDs.
