Wouldn't it be better to place such an introductory text on the SIG's
web page?  That will inform people even *before* they subscribe...
Surely in this day and age we can assume people have access to the
web?

I know the logistics of getting a SIG's web page are a little more
involved than they ought to be -- our webmaster, Ken Manheimer, has
set up a nice scheme so SIG owners can update their own web pages but
it isn't always convenient.  However I promise that if you mail
whatever you want to be put up there to webmaster@python.org (or to
me) it will be dealt with.
