Hey thanks for your help, I have found out what is causing the problem and 
decided that I need to use a different view with multiple fields as a key, 
but that is going to be a new string of emails as I attempt to do so haha!
thanks for all the links, they will come in handy as i am using a list 
item called filter that has some javascript to further filter my new view.

cheers, no doubt Ill bug you all in the near future =)

Another example of lists in action is:

http://couchapp.org/couchapp/_design/couchapp.org/_list/index/recent-posts?descending=true&limit=10


And the code for that list:
