I think that's a great idea too. Good call!
Would there be a use for a .men group as well (with men already being the
vast majority here)? Is political correctness the only reason to create a
.men group in parallel, or would it actually find usage?

This came up last night and I was trying to figure out what label an NLSO
would identify with. (None came to mind.)
A question for those of you with NLSOs: Would your spouse post here
(in such a group) or subscribe to it as a mailing list if there were
other NLSOs on the list/group? And would they find the label "NLSO"
to be a pejorative or endearing term? Please ask! I think the idea is
excellent in theory -- just not sure about the name.
