Having initially suggested the ne.personals idea, I  must say that  I
concurr wholeheartedly with my namesake, Daniel:

ne.singles : for the singles scene in ne
ne.personals.ads: for those ISO-types out there

While the gist seems similar, I think that each appeals to a different
audience, thus confirming our need for both...

It seems to me that here and in alt.personals, we are rapidly
approaching about 20 people who are pro one or the other or both, so
hopefully the "powers that ne" will look beneficently upon our
collective request and create both of these regional newsgroups in the
near future....

Next,  we  may  want to work out whether either or both need anonymous
mailing capabilities. Hm....
