By an amazing coincidence, my views are also my own!

So here's another "yes" vote.  If I'm still logged in to a computer at
this time of night, it's probably a matter of life & death, eh?

Subvotes:

 - ne.singles instead of ne.personals.  "Single" is a matter of fact;
   "personals" has such a-- well --*personal* connotation.  Musn't have
   that.  Then again, I'd also hate to inhibit married people from
   getting personal, so maybe "personals" is better after all.
   Compromise:  I couldn't care less.  Honest.  Although I prefer
   "singles".

 - Limited to whatever geographic area "ne" in the Distribution header
   field is supposed to represent; presumably that's already been decided
   by people who know far more than can be told.  If you're reading this
   msg, an "ne" distribution from here made it to your site.
