WOW!  Iwas not trying to start a whole debate on the merrits or disadvantages of Metadata.  (For the record, I'm in favor of it.  Having the computer keep track of what objects a pose or material applies to is better for me.  If you don't like it, don't use it ... like seatbelts! ) 

What I was trying to do, was look at a way that those of who do use Metadata could find a way to share high-quality Metadata files for existing products that do not already have it.

Any suggestions along those lines would be very helpful.  Maybe a particular tag on ShareCG.com or something?
