    DSA>> I guess it's also about your field of knowledge, if I have followed this   
    DSA>> conversation correctly (I probably have t and if so pls excuse me). As   
    DSA>> I'm not a tech/computer person, the very last thing I want to do is log   
    DSA>> on to my laptop to have a quick chat with someone. I don't know all   
   these   
    DSA>> other 'forums' and honestly don't have the time yet to learn about them.   
    DSA>> Keeping up with my own field is challenging enough. And, for me, my   
    DSA>> laptop is work only. After my PhD I'm severely allergic to it...even   
    DSA>> after buying a new one.   
    JD> Sharon,   
    JD> The beauty of you being a part of this chat with Telegram is that you   
   really don't have to worry about it. it's something you already have and that   
   you're familiar with. Where the tension comes in is that the telegram chat is   
   connected to a different system of distribution of messages. It's an old   
   school system and technically challenging to get access to on a cellphone if   
   not through Telegram.    
    JD> Aftershock is a newish app to make it easier, but even that still   
   requires somewhat more effort than just joining the group through TG.   
    JD> There are those who believe that if you haven't suffered through the   
   trials and tribulations of struggling to get it working "the old way" then   
   you're not worthy of taking part.
