Now that we're all finished hurling flaming piles of useless insults at each other, can we actually discuss a thread without making it personal?
So some people think that a survey about salaries isn't relevant... big deal!
I don't think getting a pile of mail from my listserv involving people's personal opinions on the "stupidity" of others is worth reading.
Sharon was right, that's what the delete button is for.
(Although, I do find it awfully interesting that the same people crying about the "stupidity" of this topic were the ones posting the most discussion.)
As for salaries, I would like to know if anyone can tell me anything about CANADIAN salary information. (Does this relate to the STC survey, or did they just do the US?)
