A life once spent is irrevocable. It will remain to be contemplated through eternity… The same may be said of each day. When it is once past, it is gone forever. All the marks which we put upon it, it will exhibit forever… Each day will not only be a witness of our conduct, but will affect our everlasting destiny… How shall we then wish to see each day marked with usefulness! It is too late to mend the days that are past. The future is in our power. Let us, then, each morning, resolve to send the day into eternity in such a garb as we shall wish it to wear forever. And at night let us reflect that one more day is irrevocably gone, indelibly marked.

This topic is discussed a lot over on the Acoustic Guitar forum as well. It seems that it's not unusual for fretboard shrinkage (due to humidy changes, I guess) to leave the ends of the fret wire sticking out slightly. It's common practice to have these ends filed and polished by a luthier to smooth things out again.
