According to most messages I see in LongFast, it should either be Test or Ping :)

Too true. I've tried to ask questions on LongFast, and unless our resident mesh Elmer is online, they go unanswered. There was a big influx about a month ago with some good conversation, though

Still needs to climb. Currently, about one in a million of the global population will have one.

Alexander Graham Bell was actually born in my city! I was also considering the first message send by Telegraph: "What hath God Wrought?"

Whatever you want. There's a better than 50% chance nothing will receive it. It's also worth checking out what the local mesh is using. Mine has switched over to medium fast, for example.
