Is there really not a way to submit an express FCC comment that avoids all my personal info being publicly published to the web? Yeesh.

Yes. You need to stand up as a citizen to have the impact (they cross check).
Publication is probably a bit much as a default and chills speech a bit, but it’s also important that the federal register can remain public with all public comment on the web. These are official comments on the record.
Think of it like a petition or testifying before Congress. The whole point is that you are putting your real name behind it.
And if you think your name and address are private, then I have some bad news for you.
