If you were posting examples of people actually TAKING these absurd rates,
there might be some educational value in people knowing what the salary
trends are, now that STC is no longer surveying professionals who
participate in a professional association and is depending on the data from
BLS. But the fact that these postings usually end up parked online for
weeks or months (I know of one I've been seeing repeatedly for the four or
five YEARS now) should be enough for people to realize that they're not
getting qualified candidates.
