You're right, and sneakemail is the best one out there; I wholeheartedly endorse their wonderful service and cannot recommend it highly enough. I'm sorry if you have a problem with anonymity, but I personally can't be bothered to even pay attention to anyone's name I've never met, so I'm afraid I can't share in your concerns. If I spent my entire day worrying about the source of words on a screen that have no impact on my life I doubt I'd ever get anything done. After getting dozens of garbage messages per day in the mailbox I used for nothing but this list, I opted to switch to disposables. If that's against the rules, I never saw it. I don't see how it matters, either. Unless you're spamming the list repeatedly, I'm not even going to look at your name.
But yes, I do have a problem with ColorEyes, as would pretty much anyone who spent more than five minutes talking to the buffoons who run it. The only portions of their software which do not suck are those which they had nothing to do with apart from signing a licensing agreement, and anything other than sycophantic ego-stroking posted on their support forums is met with either childish name calling and/or post deletion. Dare to suggest that their "revolutionary" approach to camera profiling is pretty much as effective as all methods that came before, and rather than back up their claims of superiority or justify their outrageous pricing schedule and licensing terms with scientifically valid data, they'll opt to simply call you an idiot for not agreeing with marginally famous reviewer X who posted a glowing endorsement on his horribly maintained blogosphere wiki-whatever. What's worse, they'll do it in AOL-speak like a 12 year old text messaging his friends on a cell phone--!
something I consider a bit closer to "the epitome of unprofessional behavior" than not wanting to sort through hundreds of poorly worded pleas for support of the Nigerian government just to get to a handful of messages I may or may not want to read in the first place.
Not that there's anything particularly unusual about them; I've worked for many wannabe software companies owned and operated by persons who couldn't code their way out of a paper bag, and they all tank after they go through enough low-wage engineers and threaten enough people at trade shows to build up the reputation they deserve. It's not the end of the world, I simply refuse to give them a dime of my money, and recommend my clients do the same. If you like the results you get from ColorEyes, why not buy it from the source instead of the hastily re-branded "me too" edition that crashes constantly?
And do try to bear in mind that the original post in this thread was simply an open-ended solicitation for opinions. I gave mine. It's different from yours. Whoopty doo.
