I agree. I like it being freeform. I don’t care about the AS spec’s demand of writing these treatises on every little field. I think that as long as it’s kept relatively sane (no is_cat fields in our Audio documents), and we have, then there’s no sleep worth losing over it.
I actually want to apologize, but only sort of. On the one hand, I’m aware that I’m being kind of difficult here, but on the other hand, I really can’t stress enough how much I think this is a silly waste of time. I don’t think the people insisting on all this discussion and committee are evil, I just think they’re wrong-headed. I think they’re viewing things from an academic, dare I say it, spergy, angle, as opposed to a business-minded angle that’s about “getting shit done,” which is where I lean. So I’m sorry for being difficult yet in other ways I’m also not.
