    Hi Charles!

    But how often do you anticipate changing the Telegram Group title or Photo?

    It's likely not worth the effort.

    True, there shouldn't be ongoing "empty" messages like that. Only the first few when even the description changes too. So, there are sofar 3 scenarios when that can happen:

    [1] icon change
    [2] name change
    [3] desc change

    ...which reminds me I need plop in the desc for WIFI.

    Ideally, you would have that all complete prior to connecting the Telegram group to Fido.

    That makes it sound like a Port-A-Potty.

    I only really noticed the desc part and learned about icon
    changes later on.

    At the very beginning, Stas just create the group as a bare
    minimum. There was no icon or desc. When he made gave admin
    status, I went to town to add the final touches.

    Hmmm.. It would sound kinda creepy if spoken in a Cheeseburger
    sort of way.

    BTW.. it seems that changing the desc does *not* trigger a
    network announcement.
