      I don't think the likely level of traffic warrants two groups.
      I suggest creating ne.singles and if it becomes overrun with
      personal ads then think about ne.personals or ne.personals-ads

I'm not partial to the name of the personals group but I definitely do
think there should be one separate from the discussion group.  Ads are
extremely annoying to people who simple want to discuss things and it
is a pain to wade through discussions when all you really want is to
read ads.  I don't think the lack of traffic will be an issue for very
long.  And when the traffic finally does get to be a problem it is
difficult to get people to adjust to the creation of a new group.
Momentum, you know.

   (or maybe "ne.motos"? :)

Definitely not.  I think most of the participants in this discussion
are looking for a place for singles to gather not a place for "mates"
to gather.
