Janet - has it possibly occurred to you, that it's people like you who
create the trolls in a NG. Tetanus is a UK relevant topic - that's
something you don't want to grasp; I suppose that's because you don't
want me here. Well you should SAY SO in no un-certain terms, in your
charter, instead of leading a fellow on! I wouldn't have joined URG if
i thought i was un-welcome and barring a bunch of nice people on this
NG, i find my-self most un-welcome with almost anything i say being
interpreted/mis-interpreted as off-topic merely because i don't happen
to sit in the UK. Madam, i find your behaviour remarkably weird and
don't propose to post to this NG anymore.
Goodbye.

Janet, I don't find you weird in any way and hadn't noticed you leading
anyone on. He should be so lucky :-)

Damn, I had hoped to find someone as weird as me, I'll just have to keep
looking!

As I've said in another post, good, but as has been carefully explained to
you, but you refuse to accept it, tetanus is not a great problem in this
country.

This is all very interesting and I'm pleased to be learning something
from more knowledgeable people than I. But I don't understand why in the
last 55 years I have been given 4 tetanus jabs, the first in the RAF and
the last one 2 days ago for a broken and lacerated finger mashed up
uprooting a tree.
The local A+E doctor, an experienced mature bloke, gave me a right
ticking off for not having had a booster in the last 17 years !!!
Hey, who am I to disagree.

I've come to this thread rather late and missed the OP.

The current thinking is that 5 injections of tetanus toxoid gives
lifelong immunity. Boosters are recommended for tetanus-prone wounds and
possibly for travel in areas where getting a booster may be difficult in
the event of injury.

Personally, I have had more than five injections of toxoid, but the last
was in 1988.

I arranged to have a booster prior to my trip to Libya earlier this
year, but the surgery had none in stock on the day I came for my
booster.

I see no reason to arrange to have one now.

I can only repeat, that some time ago I went to the doc having had some sort
of accident in the garden to get a tetanus injection, and he refused on the
grounds that I was imune.

Rather than getting upset at the reaction here, you should perhaps
reflect on the fact that your posts in other gardening groups were
received well and appreciated.

If some of the posters on this NG sometimes show remarkable
similarities to the character that Maggie Smith plays in the movie
"Tea with Mussolini" then so be it. Stephen Fry will hopefully find
NGs one day and have a field day with the material they offer.

Which other gardening groups are those, just so I can avoid them?

It's probably for the best ifyou confine yourself to this group.
Other gardening groups would probably consider it to be very bad
manners to wish death on a fellow poster.

Now, now, Vivek! We have a strong tradition of discussion here -- just
like any other NG. That means if we disagree, we say so. That's what
makes it interesting, and that's how we learn.

One of the things we've been discussing as a result of your enquiries
is how very different the conditions are in India and the UK. That's
interesting, and as a new gardener you should find it helpful. But you
won't be agreed with all the time.

Very well put. I think perhaps Vivek didn't realise that while the charter
indicates UK relevant posts are welcome from abroad, it doesn't mean that
the conditions, methods, treatments, planting etc. prevailing abroad *are*
relevant to UK just because we have similar illnesses, bugs and plants!
