I'm glad I'm not the only one to see this. All this griping about what
is and what isn't a reasonable salary is pointless. Salaries are set
by the market. If someone else is prepared to do your job to the same
standard for less than you are currently earning, that's just how it
is, and at a time where the market isn't exactly buoyant, that's
exactly what's happening. Employers know this, and so offer lower
salaries, and still get a stream of people applying for the job. You
can't really blame them for offering a lower salary than you'd like to
be earning.

But I'm getting rather bored by this whole thread. Shouldn't we be
discussing something technical instead? So in a probably futile
attempt to drag this discussion somewhere interesting, has anyone
tried Reia[1] yet? Any opinions?
