Except that my way, it's more like a co-op for RB programmers that  
share the frustration of a particular bug wherein they can pool their  
financial resources, rather than have to duke it out all alone. And I  
hope this "Directed Engineering Services" isn't just Wally in the  
restroom with a cell phone, a cup of coffee, and a newspaper, all the  
while trying to avoid the intern, the PHB, and Alice on a rampage  
with her fist-of-death! (sorry Dilbert fans, just couldn't resist!)
