Is that a typo? I suspect so :)

I filed my comment on the website and I encourage everyone else to do so.
Be polite and reasonable. Support claims with examples. Bring up
interesting problems like FCC authority to control receivers and problems
with Free Software receivers. Let them know we care, we vote, and are
watching what they do! There are already over 7000 comments on the site
and from reading a few samples it looks like they are almost all opposed
to the new regulations.

I've been going through their comments by unique id... one by one
ignoring MS Word documents.

By far the most comments going to the FCC refer to fears that tall
radio towers are killing migratory birds. The second most common
subject is the removal of Morse code from ham radio license
requirements. The third most common subject is about Clear Channel
advocating violence against bicycle riders.

However I ran across a couple of well-worded comments on the
broadcast flag. I though I would share the links.
