OK. Let's take it as read that ranges discourage the uncertain and nervous. How should companies go about posting ads that treats those people compassionately and puts them on an event footing with confident people? Preferably while not denying people who would like to see it useful information?

my point was that ranges can hurt

maybe a solution is to have a website that had to post a range but also require them to post it on another site where ranges are not allowed

so those that want to see jobs and not be distracted by $ can do so

Write a greasemonkey script. Or pay someone to do it for you. Reducing the amount of information available in a job posting is easily solvable client-side, especially since I disagree with you about the overall negative effect.
