Some of us did, anyway, and we all deserved to. What you "deserve" is irrelevant. I think I deserve several million dollars a year. For some reason, those ingrates out there just aren't giving it to me. The question is, what will the market bear? If Mr. Reece can get his employees within the stated salary range, then the market has spoken in his favor. If, ceteris paribus, he's back on the market in a few months with a higher range, then the market has spoken against him. -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
