Here's my pacer story: When the Microsoft antitrust case was on, I made a pacer account to follow it; and kept using it during the SCO vs linux debacle. It was a bit worrying to look at things which cost $0.10/page, but I knew that if I didn't actually go over $10 (or something), I wouldn't get charged. I never did go over the chargeable amount, but nevertheless for a few years I used to get an invoice for $0.00 - sent by airmail to the UK. Given they never bothered to fix that bug, I guess they were raking it in.

Never fixed? I had to look some stuff up on PACER many years ago, never went over the free threshold, never got a bill of any sort.

Well, maybe they did fix it; they closed my account a while back for lack of use.
