I agree that two groups are not warranted at the present time, and
that "ne.personals.ads" is not a good choice.
Net tradition would favor the "ne.singles" name 
(or maybe "ne.motos"? :)

By the way, obviously (and thankfully) distribution fields do not limit 
the audience that much, but it would be nice if posts to ne.singles (or 
whatever it is called) were from people who actually spend time in
New England.

If someone creates the new group, could they please let me know (by
a post to ne.general or via email?)
