If there’s any interest, I could set-up a Signal Group ( https://signal.org/ ) ... The group could invite whoever wants to be included. It’s then a closed group that can only receive and send private messages between those in the group. Two-way communications are private, of course. Just a thought. Any other ideas? Sometimes it would be nice to communicate with OS users privately on matters they might care about - but niche enough it would have no place on the board. (Guiding somebody step-by-step through a program, etc.) There are other simple ways this could be accomplished without handing out personal information. The OP was snarky, but the point is worth considering without troubling the able owner of this forum to worry about it.

Good idea, Donovan. I’d take part in it.

Sure, Donovan—I’d join. Maybe if successful and endorsed by the group here your Signal could be a link in the sidebar if Chris agrees.

That’s an excellent idea Donovan, I’d join too.

Nice idea! I only knew Telegram for that purpose so far, but Signal would be nice, too as I just found out that there is also a desktop version.
