A quick check at my site indicates that, on just one fileserver (eecg), 32
people are currently subscribed to ont.singles.  Of these, 30 are male, and
only two are female.  This is probably a reasonable explanation of why
traffic is so low in this newsgroup.  Maybe Ontario just doesn't have a
large enough female population segment to support it's own singles
newsgroup :-(.

Flame away!
