Perhaps you should bill fewer hours to compensate.  On the whole, it'd
probably be a huge win for everyone.  Except for you, of course.

Well, if you're big enough to look past my views on MVP, I think I can let
it slide. Many thanks for your response. And, BTW, $1200 is 25% of the
budget for this project, that's a big chunk of change.

P.S. And because I have been heckled to death on this issue, I feel the need
to clarify because I believe you have mis-characterized my position on this.
Regardless of whether or not MVP is the greatest thing since sliced bread
and never, ever, in a million years caused anyone to every act unethically
or fail to think for themselves, it is still compensation from a vendor and
hence something that IT professionals should not engage in. It is a slippery
slope and if IT is to ever achieve the status of a profession, something
that will eventually have to be addressed.
