Hello Stas!

Noted.  Apparently there are aspects with the API that Telegram  
offers you than I realize.

I just thought that if Telegram generates the USERID #, then  
your bot can easily construct a "reply" to the holder of that  
USERID.

I think you mentioned that you hoped to built an auto-welcome  
PVT message to the user.  I guess that is harder to do than  
imagined.

In anycase, I suppose most people would rather appreciate the  
option to lurk silently in the background.  If they suddenly got  
automated messages indicating that their "silent" presence is  
detected, then that could tick them off.

I suppose a better thing might be is to have a "channel" for the  
fidonet.telegram project and broadcast some member stats and  
activity data in there.
