If he's lonely, he needs to find someplace to do volunteer work.
Find a place where he can interact with others, rather than
spend his time bothering people online.


I wish him luck finding it. In the Fall of 2004 I was unemployed and looking
for a way to usefully spend my time (if only to lighten my depression). When
I applied to the King County Library System to tutor kids in math and
science, I was immediately rejected as "unqualified".



Some only accept retired teachers, for some reason.


Hell, I was accepted by Caltech, MIT, and Case.

I haven't looked for volunteer work since.



There are a lot of retirement homes around here that welcome people
to spend time with the residents. Non profit thrift stores and various
clubs always need help. A friend has had to depend on community service
workers lately for his thrift store. The Humane Society, Habitat for
Humanity and any VA clinic or hospital needs volunteers. The local VA
clinics are all desperate for volunteer drivers, to drive the eight
passenger DAV vans from local clinics to the Gainsville VA hospital.
The local United Way has a list of about 100 organizations needing help.
