A little over a decade ago I did an interim gig for a mid-size manufacturer that did public RFP bids all the time. When some of those were taken to court - because your competitors will not shy away from any trolling to get your proposal out in public - I'd pull it out of the sales team's hands and redact it all myself. There were weekends where I had to do multiple 300-1000 page documents, but I didn't want someone else to mess it up: better it be my fuckup.
For each full page of black marker (using Acrobat's cool masking feature) all I did was write the rationale down in my own notes. I think we got a question from the judge once, and the rationale was sufficient to not have to redo it.
Yes. I always found it amazing that judges would even entertain yet another lawsuit by yet again the same companies. Another trolling path that was tried often was to contract some students to do FOIA requests.
Yep.
