You must avoid TLists!
hahahahaha
Or only put in the Tlist the things you are going to want. Then you wouldnt have to search the whole list for the thing you wanted, you would know it was the next one ;)
You could for example have another list for just shadows which contains the tlink to your big list.
(PS, I know Im not telling you anything you dont already know and do, I just didnt want ppl to never use Tlists simply because you have just said so)
(There are some very easyerly influenced ppl out there ;)
