I don't like the words "This is the text a user may send to the group administrators." on the request message help text when subscribing to a group. It talks about the user rather than directing the user. I'd prefer something a little more helpful like "Send a message with your request to the group administrators."

As I seem to have raised lots of issues on og recently, I thought I'd try an be more helpful! Attached is a patch that makes the change (but only works when you do a fresh install of og).

This sentence also appears in group_membership.inc -- please change it there as-well.

I would prefer a more descriptive text than "Send a message with your request to the group administrators", it seems quite clear that the purpose is to send a message and that the admins will receive it. But the user might wonder what is expected.

What do you think of:

Explain in a few words what your motivation is for joining this group.

Would love to know how to apply this to an already working version. This little pesky description is hard to find.

I searched the whole drupal folder and db and couldn't find where this is stored in an existing install, how can we change it without reinstalling the module?
