Similarities may, on occasion, be so striking as to confuse innocent onlookers into mistaking look-alikes for the real McCoy. CHISIG, the Australian body representing HCI down under may appear deceptively similar to SIGCHI, but the astute observer soon learns otherwise; we may carry similar names (although we pronounce our CHI as in "chives"); our reasons for being and our main interests certainly overlap, but that is probably as far as the resemblance goes. Considering the size, scope and dimension of SIGCHI, CHISIG may be likened to a mere baby taking its first clumsy, fumbling steps into the wide, exciting unknown.
