The danger here is that, by their very nature, SIGs tend to "indoctrinate" 
one into a particular distro, and denegrate all others (to some extent). 
This has the (admittedly minor) potential to start a "distro jihad" and 
fragment the main group (saw this happen with the BBC Users Group many 
years ago).
