[ale] recruiter salary questions

[Jeff Hubbs]

It may be legal, and you may be able to get away with it indefintely,
but it's a colossally bad idea that, yes, can get you fired.  You'd be
better off telling the recruiter that you only discuss compensation
specifics with potential employers but that you'd like to know what
salary range has been established, if any.
