brings into question whether one could in turn retaliate by contacting
someone in the GAO who oversees NASA and ask whether it is a breach of
federal law to demand payment for access to information that, as has
been pointed out here previously, has been already paid for once by US
taxpayers.

I seriously doubt that'd fly. Especially given the plethora of companies
and individuals that make their living selling copies of government
documents, everything from NASA reports to Army technical manuals and
civil defence brochures and such. There's no law against selling what's
in the public domain.

I do believe OM's trying to run you out of business, Scott. :-)
