I think your guidance here is perfect.

You were in a group that I am in and you wrote the most gracious note to all of us to let us know the chain emails were more than you could keep up with.

Thanks for the help, as usual. Facebook is manageable with tips like these!

Cheers,
Catherine

[...] interesting is this guy didn’t seem to think he was doing anything “wrong”. If you read Mari’s post on email etiquette, you’ll hear a similar story. The person who sent her unwanted promotional email didn’t seem to [...]
