Devil's advocate here... I'd wager the reason they don't post a specific range is that if they did every applicant would want the top of that range. Don't know what the solution is, though. I do agree that a lot of folks have no idea what a good InfoSec person is really worth, and it's true that a lukewarm econonmy shouldn't equate to paying people fry-cook wages, but if you've been reading the list for a year and have got the high hat every time you bring up your salary needs, it may be time to reevaluate your expectations.
