How the DOJ/MS Settlement was Reached

Posted by chrisd on from the does-the-doj-run-exchange? dept.

Drek was among the many who wrote in to tell us about the following: "Wired is running an article about how the MS/DoJ settlement was reached. More importantly, the DoJ has set up an email address where citizens can send comments about the case: microsoft.atr@usdoj.gov. This might be a good way for Slashdotters to do their civic duty."The address has been around for a bit, but still, a renewed call for comment.

  1. Don't make an ass of your self by baronben · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Even though I firmly belive that no e-mail messege from a citizen to a goverment angency hasn't changed anything, at any time, anywere, we can only shoot ourselves in the foot all thoes script kiddys outthere start flaming the DOJ. So lets all no make complete idots of our selves, thats what IRC is for anyways.

  2. Will they read it? by cliffy2000 · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I really think that our government's resources could be better allocated to fighting a war than listening to a bunch of angry nerds.
    (Note: Not flamebait. I'm a nerd, myself.) Just noting that it might be a little wasteful, if, indeed, the entirety of the e-mails are read... and a little pointless if they're not read. Seems like a silly idea in the first place.
    Correct me if I'm wrong... I usually am.
