Let's keep our eye on the ball, people.  Did the original post have any operational consequences?

IMHO, it has many.  Some are even interesting to the wider audience.  So why are we discussing how you bill the US 
gov't?

P.S. Bill, it is clear you have a point, but you are really stretching it.  And it is not relevant to the discussion at 
hand.

You're assuming the contract is simply for work hours.  Generally
speaking, and from my experience, it isn't.  The contract is for an
app that does X, not 20 hours toward building an app that does X.
