No. But I do feel this site could tolerate a little more political expression. Those that don't want to read it can stay away from the political thread. Our industry is sensitive to political swings.

As far as the pay information, surely you are aware of the controversy you started when you first published the pay information. The genie is out of the bottle however. I suppose that point is now moot.

They probably think you make twice as much as you make if they multiply the hourly by 40 week. And just because you don't care if people know what you made doesn't mean everyone feels that way.
