Please do not reply to this message. Thank You. To view the archives or join/leave TMG list: http://listserv.utk.edu/archives/tmg.html I have had several emails and question asking to add people to the listserv who thought they were automatically added when they registered on the TMG website. If you are registered on the website you are NOT automaticaly registered on the listserve (I wish I could pull them together but we don't have that capablity, for now). TMG is a self join or leave list- so you can choose to be added or change your email address if you switch providers. Please let others in your program know this information. I would hate for them to be left out of the FUN!!!
