Is this state-specific? I did a credit freeze as well. Equifax was free, but TU and Experian both charged me $10.

Knowing what one is talking about is widely admired but not strictly required here.

Although sometimes distracting, there is often a certain entertainment value to this easy standard.

I read somewhere else that they don't like people freezing their credit because then they lose "sales" (i.e., selling your credit information).
