highlander hasn't quite let us get to know them yet.

Here's the thing, it may go deeper that that. A lot of folks REALLY don't want to think about these things-and won't do anything proactive even when given the opportunity.

As I understand it, you developed an infection, notified everyone that possibly could have had contact with with you when you might have been infectious, refrained from play until your doctor cleared you. Now, sometimes these things aren't entirely clear cut(i.e. doctors might vary on opinions on what and when contact would be safe). Sounds like you did the right thing.

Now, a question for you: Do you want to play with folks that don't appreciate what you did(and might not inform you if a similar situation arose with them)?
