No problem with it at all. I provide a contract service to the government and if they breach it, I wouldn't hesitate to take legal action.

Not only do you miss the point of _both_ posts you respond to, but your well of hatred means you cant do anything but insult and argue. Sad really. Were (are) you bullied at school?
