Comment (by dfeuer):

 Replying to [comment:16 nomeata]:

 OK, thinking about this more clearly, I think I see some things I did not
 realize before, and I am less and less confident that any of this was a
 good idea. Aside from the magical map, and the pleasantness of the form
 when fused on both sides, I think this whole thing probably does more harm
 than good.
