Oh yeah, that's a really deplorable practice on their part. I didn't have anything to contribute to that part though as I haven't actually heard of acquire or chartmogul before.
I was specifically responding to:
> Do you prefer your user privacy? Too bad you can't sell on Acquire
which I guess would have been more clear if I had included that quote in the first place.
The rest of your point (that Acquire is misleading and irresponsible with their treatment of other peoples' time) wasn't lost, don't worry
