There isn't a net.social, and there ought to be one.  Net.singles was a
safe way to start net.social.  It seems like net.social is what we
wanted, but we were afraid to admit it.  Coupled folks have the same
problems breaking into peer groups that singles do.  Doth coupled's not
bleed?  Doth they not feel pain, sorrow, loneliness?  I am part of a
relationship, and it's Wonderful.  I still don't have many friends, and
my/our social problems are identical to those of unattached singles.  I
have someone to keep me warm in bed and someone to talk to.  I have
this one friend.  She is one more good friend than I had before.  I
still have problems meeting people who interest me.  Please, PLEASE!
Don't segregate me from singles or marrieds or couples or anyone just
because I have indulged in one of my life's greater pleasures.

This is a vote for net.social, so that discussions which DO pertain
only to singles (are there any?) may be segregated from discussions
which concern us all.
