Gee, I think you are beginning to mix these people up. Should this
person understand how log files work? Where I work they never heard
of referer logs until I configured the server to give them to us.
This sort of thing apparently puts me in a 'propeller-head" class. I
think not. I am just curious, buy plenty of books, subscribe to
mailing lists and read usenet groups. Find someone who does that.

You are really mixing them up. Would someone who uses Linux use
Front-Page? I would not be caught dead using Front-Page.

We are now securely in left field. This person must also be a
salesperson and account executive.

I think that is the key right there.

I would advertise for an outgoing, intelligent person with a lot of
curiousity, stubborness who enjoys learning. They would have to have
their own domain. I got my own domain after about 3 months on the
web. I switched hosts 4 times in 6 months.
I would search the web/usenet for their email address. If it doesn't
appear anywhere then what have these people been doing?

I reckon that job would be worth around US$50K per year based in
Memphis, TN.
