They don't dare list how much they'll pay, it might be considered material for
the joke List.
While I fully meet all of these qualifications, I wouldn't even bother to
apply because I make more money putting CA glue on Whitney Spinet tuning pins
and yes, I consider it to be an appropriate, valid technique which may be used
by professionals when the time and place are right.  Besides, they might also
make me tune in ET (yecchhh!!!).
