Thanks.  It's company policy not to post salary ranges for any jobs.

Since I'm the one who's currently doing this job, I have a good idea of what
it should pay and can make a good decision based on the applicant.  i.e. I'm
not expecting someone to come in meeting the majority of these requirements
and only offer them 60k :)
