This is really wierd, people are agreeing with me.

I'm absolutely sure that people have posted arguments based
on there being a loss of 1 point of essence for losing a
limb.

Is it just me? Or maybe it was one rec.games.frp.cyber

Maybe either :).

Seriously, there's nothing in any of the Shadowrun books that can be
construed to imply that losing a limb means you lose Essence. Having your
arm mangled underneath the treads of a tractor is another story, though
amputation can be considered to be "proper" treatment under some
conditions.
