So a friend has sent you unwanted...

What do you a say to a friend who just found out about the Internet last year and has send you an unwanted e-mail from a third party. Now those third parties have my e-mail address.

How do I teach, from a great distance, about the etiquette of the Internet and e-mail. At least he does use decent grammar and some good punctuation. For a while he would put his message inside the message he was forwarding. He usually only write about two sentences or three. But anything much longer, forget. He will show me something he got new, but I ask what did he get his wife, that goes in one eye and out the other. Nothing to slow anything down. He might be a little on there on one wing, right or left, that is the only thing he thinks he understands.

I am struggling with a few people who do this kind of stuff because that haven't been around the Internet to long. This Internet is great as long as it is free. There are, however, the are some places who don't always steer you in the right direction of give you the correct information you really need. Yet it is a great place to search and find new things.

I wish I could put into words what I am thinking. I wish others could see what I have seen. I wish I knew what is right. I know, wish in one hand, and the other will remain as it is.
