Actually, the Department of Justice does. Or did, over the proposed Micro$oft settlement<\/a>. Forty-five thousand comments. Even though the DoJ had earlier said it would publish them in the Federal Register, they’ve decided that spending an estimated $4MM to do so would not be in the public interest.<\/p>\n

A certain select few — “approximately” 45 — will be printed in full.<\/p>\n
