    Sue the f*ckers!

    Btw, your question was...

            I'd walk and then discover the market rate has fallen quite a bit lower than the rate I'd been asked to drop down to. This is what I did in 2003

              Walked once before when a rate cut was announced. Also refused renewals if the rate wasn't upped.
