Are you referring to the a2i2 bit earlier today?  I read the linked-to
page, and saw no mention of salaries there; I thought that perhaps the
linked-to page was most of the information being given out in that
context.  (As it turned out, salaries were mentioned elsewhere on their
site, but that required a bit more digging than I initially gave it.
No one has infinite time to research every issue, though of course
less-than-full-research should not justify much confidence in one's
position.)  I recalled an earlier discussion that had mentioned lower
salaries, but of course memories are not always entirely correct.  Thus
the IIRC - which really was meant as "If I Recall Correctly", since I
had read the content immediately at hand.  (Again, it also flagged less
than full confidence in the statement - a good thing, as said statement
was then proven wrong.)
