Of the, by my count, 254 comments on the docket (not counting those by
TSA),
35 are dated today. 6 were added since I started typing this. They've even
given up trying to convert the comments to PDF before posting.

They never tried to do that in the first place. Every time I've ever
monitored comments for various NPRMs, the most recent comments are almost
always text-only (for a document that is still actively receiving comments,
of course).

Though, that said, I don't really understand why there's the delay between
posting the text comments and posting the PDF version. Presumably, the
delay in seeing one's comment at all is so that it can be reviewed (for
profanity maybe? though I've seen some pretty offensive comments so maybe
that's not even it). The conversion to PDF ought to be able to be made
automatic, and should take no more time than getting the text comment into
the database.
