It is a private reply to fido2telebot. That is the main point that confuses everyone

I'm up for suggestions. I posted one in FIDONET.TELEGRAM ..but now that one is incorrect. Yes.. I think it needs to be clearer that the "%REALNAME Firstname Lastname" command needs to be sent to @Fido2telebot, and not the current group.

Yes. I mean that you should replay to awehttam's message, otherwise from Fido it looks like orphan message.

To make matters worse, I have always thought that the text could be improved; although I don't have a clue on how to improve it

I think the %REALNAME parameter is the first step. That one is "required". I missed that in the current welcome message. Stas uses that as a way to ensure we have real people participating before any messages get routed to Fidonet.

Moreover, some echoes require the name and address matching the nodelist (case sensitive).

Hello Stas..!

Huh? A nodelist name match doesn't make sense if it's a "user"
coming onboard from the Tg side. Or.. are you doing an exact
Name+Node match for your own non-english echos?
