[consulting] Lowball offers

[Victor Kane]

Oh, I see, so it's OK for outside the US, but developers world-wide are

Your statement is ridiculous. I am not going to qualify it as it deserves to
be qualified.

There are differences in what is charged in different countries, but not of
the order you are implying (neither 40 times, nor $1000)
