Or print it out on hard copy, make interns read it line by line, then charge 400% of their labor as your management fee.

What's the purpose of using regexps here? You're optimizing away your own revenue!

There's no need to have actual interns read it, that would be unnecessarily cruel. Service fees don't need to be based on actual billable hours. You can charge 400% of the time it would take interns to read it without actually doing that, as long as your grep one-liner delivers the same value.

Also charge $1/page for the printing. Then ship it to them, in triplicate, and charge for the overnight shipping (it's an urgent bug after all).
