I simply want results and I want them fast. Creating a process by which donors
get near instant feedback that their donation was counted and helped push us
toward a goal will generate many times the money any bounty would cost.

I'm also not at all keen on trying to attempt to do this in anything but an
automated way (esp since it would be *me* that would be attempting to be a
bot). 

So do you have anything other than snide remarks to add? ;)
