			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The one category nobody&#8217;s talked about when comparing <a href="http://flyingmeat.com/acorn/">Acorn</a> and <a href="http://www.pixelmator.com/">Pixelmator</a>: Will the company spam you?</p>

<p>So far, I&#8217;ve been spammed by Pixelmator&#8217;s partners twice. I posted to their support board asking them if they were aware of this, and they deleted the post. I&#8217;ve <a href="http://www.pixelmator.com/support/viewtopic.php?p=2596">posted the same question again</a>, on the grounds that maybe (just maybe) they deleted the post by mistake. It&#8217;s also possible they didn&#8217;t know about the spam runs. Still, it isn&#8217;t looking too good.</p>

<p>For those curious, why do I categorize it as spam?</p>

<ul>
<li>I never asked for the email.</li>
<li>It&#8217;s bulk.</li>
</ul>

<p>There&#8217;s other factors, too (like I don&#8217;t know the company that sent it) but in all honesty, those two are enough to categorize it as spam: It&#8217;s unsolicited commercial email.</p>

<p>On the other hand, Flying Meat has never spammed me.</p>

<p>Pixelmator has at this point eliminated themselves from the finals. Looking at the products, it makes me sad that one of them had to win this way. But there&#8217;s <strong>no way</strong> I&#8217;m buying something from spamtards.</p>
