As my mom continues to learn how to use computers, I've been teaching her about email etiquette and appropriate communication methods.

She forwarded an article to me today, and it is pretty interesting. The article is about how Japan doesn't want to apologize again for their World War II military brothels.

My mom asked me to forward this to my friends, but like most people, I don't like sending or receiving email forwards. I told her that my blog would be a better outlet for sharing this with people.

It does feel weird rejecting my mom in a way, but I do want to help her avoid becoming an "auto-delete" (someone who sends so many forwards that you start deleting all of the person's emails without reading them).
