//
// Thanks to Punkaroo Snoring, and Pavig Lok for inadvertently pointing out something
// i read in a RC release notes and totally didnt pay attention to. But which is really useful.
//
// Set the group active on your avatar before rezzing this box.
// If you forget just reset the script after you set the box to the right group.
// Volumedetect is activated in script, so dont link this prim.
// This solution can be a bit spammy, so its certainly not ideal.

Touch based solution. Sends group invite text as an IM - so far less spammy, and only delivered to avatars who voluntarily touch the box. Much better solution.
