AGE?!?! You're going to seriously base a person's salary on, among other things, \age/ ? I sincerely hope you get NO applicants whatsoever for these positions, with a discriminatory attitude like that! How do you figure that age weighting on the salary? "Well, the younger one's got more experience and better education, but the old fart's been around for quite a few -- that ought to be worth a few quid indeed." Or maybe: "The older man has the experience and better qualifications, but he's sure to be settled in and burned out by now just because he's older; let's up the young whippersnapper's salary accordingly." Let's try judging on \individual merits/, not whether one is Republican or Democrat, black or white, OR old or young. Seriously, if you have some set weighting of salary based on age I'd love to see it -- I'd be very interested (in a sick sort of way) in how it is implemented. -- The MAD Programmer -- 919-228-3313 (Cornet 291) alias: Curtis Jackson ...![ ihnp4 ulysses cbosgd mgnetp ]!burl!rcj ...![ ihnp4 cbosgd akgua masscomp ]!clyde!rcj
