Feds to Publish Public Comments on MS Settlement

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the spam-forward dept.

Silas writes: "This AP Article notes that the government is going to be releasing the comments submitted by the public on the Microsoft anti-trust case. Highlight: 'Overall, the department said it received about 7,500 comments from people in favor of the settlement reached by the federal government and nine states, while 15,000 opposed it. Another 7,000 comments were dismissed as opinion, like "I hate Microsoft."' Apparently they have to publish and respond to each one." CNN is carrying the AP wire story as well.

    From this moment on, there will be no more "first posts, fps, frist posts"
    or anything of this nature on my site.

    Thanks to my new code, any persons using the words "first post, fp or frist post"
    will result in the post being deleted and their account immediately purged.

    Sincerely,

    CmdrTaco
