Really, if you didn't make the opposing party pay for your time, you did 
them a favor. It's absolutely expected to pay hostile witnesses for their 
depo time. (If nobody mentioned it, why would they offer to pay if you 
were willing to do it for free?)

If it happens again, pick the highest rate you think you're worth and 
double it.  If you want, donate the money to the IETF trust and encourage 
them to use it for better cookies.

R's,
John
