There were a couple of articles submitted mentioning that joining an ACM
SIG is often useful.  I thought I'd mention that if you are an ACM member,
you can join one SIG for free each year.  Just call up the membership
line and ask to add the SIG to your ACM membership.  You'll be billed
the SIG dues starting with your next ACM renewal.

By the way, I suggest spending a few minutes looking through the SIG
publications in your local technical library before joining a SIG.
See if you think the articles in the SIG newsletter are interesting,
and check to see if the issues appear to be coming out regularly (only
about a quarter of the SIGs publish on a regular quarterly schedule).
If you're gonna testdrive a SIG, at least make sure you kick the tires
a bit first.

PS: If you want to check on SIGCOMM, you can also look at our on-line
archives.  Many of the papers are available on-line in PostScript on
nnsc.nsf.net in the directory CCR.  Papers are in different directories
by issue.
