 THE MCGILL 

 UNDERGRADUATE 

 GEOGRAPHY 

 SOCIETY 

Hey Geographers! I'd like to take a moment this week to say "Thanks."... thanks to the McGill Geog alumni who get this listserv every Monday, deliberate unsubscribing, and ultimately don't.  Each week we get at least one exasperated email from an alumnus begging to be removed from our servers, and I can't help but wonder who compose the silent majority of these graduates? The ones skimming this email out of faint curiosity? The ones valiantly deleting as it comes in? The ones who set all MUGS correspondence as junk mail? Because we have no efficient way of removing alumni (and the unsubscribe button does not work), this week is dedicated to alums. You guys rock. Thank you.
