What Ever Happened to Metadata?

[Simon Ubsdell] “I was hoping this would lure Walter S. out of his batcave and David L. down from his ivory tower and it would get very interesting very quickly.
“But you managed to get Aindreas back, that’s quite an achievement

A troll. A bore. An incoherent evangelist. Or very possibly all three.
When Aindreas turns up like the ghost of Banquo to damn you for being de trops, you know you can sink no further.
I recognise that as my cue to leave and skulk off into the shadows to nurse what shreds remain of my dignity.
To have irritated and/or mystified you is bad enough, but to have failed to engage your interest is an unforgivable solecism.
There’s nothing worse than the person who thinks s/he has something interesting to say and is wrong in that opinion.
Carry on being scintillating amongst yourselves; I will bore you no longer.

[Andrew Kimery] “NeoFinder helps me keep that madness under control. It’s also helpful for when I’m working offsite and the client ask “Where’s that one thing you said was on the drive?”. I can just look it up in NeoFinder and then relay the location/file path to the client.
“Neofinder and Finder/Folder organization is basically my MAM at the moment. Neofinder even added filmstrip capability because of my suggestion. It’s great at what it does and is really fast. But it’s limited.

Simon,
Wish I had money for every time I had similar feelings of exhasperation here.
I’ve come to see how incredibly invested people get in needing to validate the opinions they have taken in public. Myself most definitely included.The thing is, when your opinion is based on clear, logical thinking and you can articulate WHY you hold the opinion – it’s never that much of a risk to espouse it.
Others can disagree. And you can even prove to have gotten things entirely wrong. But what is impossible to support is that the opinion was dumb to begin with.
X is either a valuable and INNOVATIVE tool, or it’s not. If it is, ever more editors will see and accept that over time. And those who try to say it’s not that will eventually fail, because that’s not the reality.
Yes, superior ideas do regularly fail. But usually because they dont have the financial and/or creative support to flourish over time. That is NOT the case here. FWIW.
New signature under construction and coming soon. Please stand by…

Good grief, man! I said I was leaving. It’s a low trick to kick me again as I pass though the door.

I hope you didn’t take my post was aimed at you! Quite the contrary, we need folks like you around here!

Huh? Kicking you? I was AGREEING with you.
Seems to me that my long ago nemesis Aindreas stomped back in (as he has a habit of doing) and started the old refrain that anyone thinking too differently about editing orthodoxy is an idiot.I LOVE that you’ve been thinking differently about this stuff.
It’s been exciting.
I’ve spread your thinking (with appropriate credit to you AND Charlie for engendering the whole discussion) around in some of my more private circles and it’s been met with great interest and discussion.
So the LAST thing I want to do is hold a door for any exit on your part. If I had my druthers, I’d lock said door with you INSIDE so the discussion can continue.
Just so we’re clear here.
New signature under construction and coming soon. Please stand by…

eh, I was just ribbing there, people. You might occasionally be a bit of an evangelist but I was the other two..
