    I could just as easily publish a crypted link to "invite" someone to join. As long as they have the link they can "Join" and start posting. The only advantage Stas' method has is that he simply started an advertising campaign for the echo on his own. I suppose that is fine and dandy. Let's see how this takes off. It is far easier for someone to click on that link and see the landing (advertising) page and be encouraged to install Telegram, than it is to install Telegram first and post something to an existing user to wait for approval.

    Sorry to see you go. But don't forget to wash your cup on the way out. We don't serve disposables. LOL
