Well...... I simply ain't going to get into a semantics battle on this list, 
so I wonder why I post this.    Just my way I suppose..... I fail to see how 
the phrase "doesn't heal" and the very similar phrase "never FULLY heals" are 
all that different.     I agree with you about some of your examples 
(gunshots and the puckered scars, the rope burns  of hanging), but I have to 
equate having your heart ripped out of your chest (and IMHO leaving a pretty 
sizable hole) would not close over.... kind of like the examples I've heard 
(or read...the exact place escapes me at 2am) that dying from having your 
neck broken (via said hanging) leaves the Harrowed with a somewhat crooked 
neck.     And as to the oozing blood now and then....great effect, but (at 
least in my groups games) Harrowed don't bleed.    'Specially them waht ain't 
got no ticker! :)     Now to honest...I was more interested in the "should I 
penelize him 'till he gets his heart back" part of the posting..... that and 
the proposed "Relic Heart" thang.     Debating semantics, in my humble, is 
sort of hard to do when the main (and great) thing of PEG games are the old 
"It's your game....do it if you like it, don't if you don't" thing!     

Is nice to notice someone else on at this unGodly hour though Alan!
