You know his later post made me think it's actually a reference to the letter "d" on the QWERTY keyboard, which would fall under the left middle finger of a touch typist, and which would possibly be programmed for "delete".
If so I have to say the subtlety of the reference was clever, especially if the other possible meaning was meant to be understood as well.
I had an injury 8 years ago to one of my fingers. At the time, my job involved doing a lot of stuff with the keyboard (lots of e-mails, doing up stuff in QuickBooks, etc.) and I described the injury to someone as having been to my "cde finger". That put it in the proper perspective, I thought. :) (Of course, one of the people I was reporting this to didn't touch-type....)
Wasn't the middle finger the one that was stiffened in the astronauts' gloves for pushing buttons, as well?
