Thank you! No need to apologize. I agree with your points and no worries for pointing out its weaknesses - It was just a "napkin-sketch" response to "Not least that a cat can occupy a square or a circle. [as opposed to a cat]" and that "But a Fish would have had a hard time and require a very good re-designer. In any case, fish are too long." Neither of these are correct, and I only pointed out that it only took a few minutes to come up with an ad-hoc solution to shed light on this fact.
I don't intend to work on it unless there is some confirmation that a change is indeed a possibility. Or that if the result is convincing it will be considered for a future release. In that event, it'll take weeks to explore the possibilities, not minutes. On the second point, though - It was intended to be seen as excretion. I always interpreted the poster this way. As a joke. When I posted my response I re-examined the poster and realized that it might not mean what I thought. :D I still think that its a funny idea with the slogan "Your messy thoughts, Organized" ... But it is probably not fitting to the tiddlywiki branding so I agree.
