Powayseller,
I don’t think there was anything in Bmarum’s posting to suggest he was mad at you. I think you have to change your attitude. According to you anyone who does’nt agree with your point of view is either stupid, a liar or mad.
I had a 35% increase in salary in the past 3yrs and I don’t think 50% is a stretch. I know people who have had it. Remember Bmarum’s is not talking about average salary increase.
