Bonnie,
Yes you are. Each item in the list has an index number and an item number. The index number changes when the item is moved, but the itemnumber remains with that item all the time and doesn't change. The List collection use the Index number to identify the item, while the ListItem collection uses the ItemNumber to do it.
