Some internet training
Hi, thanks for joining. By signing with Bill's internet training you agree to comply with the following simple rules:
Go forth and click.
- Forwarding chain mail is wrong. If you do, I will brand an "L" into your forehead.
- The Internet is not your friend. Nor does it want to be; it doesn’t even care that you exist.
- AOL is not your friend. It isn’t even ON the internet. They also don’t care if you exist as long as you keep sending them checks.
- Google is your friend.
- Snopes is also your friend.
- Hoax Busters is also your friend.
- Forwarding jokes and news articles is fine.
- Don't be a pest.
- Include the source link, we know you didn't write it.
- Remember that not everyone agrees with your insane political views.
- If they do, you are a boring person and need to meet more people.
- Don't be a pest.
- If you ignore rules 1-7 and ever use the statement I don't know if this is true, but I thought you would find this interesting..." I will replace your computer with paper and crayons and force you to wear a dead pidgeon around your neck.
- Any questions, see rule 4.
Go forth and click.

Nicely done. I'd add a clause to the forwarding section, strongly suggesting that "too good to be true" news stories, particularly those forwarded by someone else, be checked at Snopes/HoaxBusters before forwarding.
