Re: STC Salary data collection

["Gene Kim-Eng" <techwr -at- genek -dot- com>]

There are two separate issues involved here.

One is whether we can get the same data STC 
wants us to pay extra for from BLS for free.
We can.

The other is whether we should believe the
data has any value based on a correlation to
what we are seeing and experencing in the
real world.  I don't think it does.
