Re: Allow groups.io messages to be more personal

The problem is the Direct Add message, not the Welcome Message.
Altering?the Welcome message might indeed help to solve the problem. However, the?two messages appear to be sent out at the same time if a direct add is done and so the user is 50% likely to see the Direct Add message first. First impressions are lasting ones.
I don't see why two separate messages have to be sent. Why not a single Welcome message with something extra added in the case of a Direct Add? Seems redundant and probably adds to my friends' annoyance.

I never had anyone turned off by welcome messages containing nuanced warnings.
