Ha! Not impressed with your pinky finger wound. I had about an  
8" wound in the arm from a piece of barb wire fence that swung  
back at me when it was cut. Instant reflex placed my arm in  
front of my face, but the arm lost about an 1/8" deep and  
about as much wide valley of flesh down to some white meat.

After it happend, I thought it was fascinating how the blood  
was slowly filling up the gap.

Today, the scar is about half its original length. I didn't  
bother with a doctor. Mom just irrigated the wound and  
bandaged it up as best we could to squeeze the opening shut.

Afterwards, I would proudly display my "fencing (sabre)  
wound".     I had always imagined trying the sport of  
fencing, but after my incident, I didn't have to - I already  
had a fascinating scar to display courtesy of my own version  
of fencing!

"You call THAT a scar? I'll show you my fencing wound."

From aborted tissue?  I had not heard that.

The BBS method and/or offline method allows better engagement  
with replies. But the presence of the echos on the smartphone  
allows you to take a piece of fidonet along wherever you go.

Maybe younger people who's phones are extensions of themselves  
would like to give it a try.
