No offense, but even at $100k you are on the low end for a "high level" programmer, let along someone that would be willing to relocate.

That was my initial thought as well, but then I thought about some of the senior guys I know who are only making $165k-$180k due to all of the other talent available (job losses) .. and if they lost their jobs, might jump at $100k just to keep from being underwater.
Also, for some, $100k of stable money would be a lot better than a good salary that's more speculative.
The unfortunate part is that it's difficult for non-programmers to be able to tell the senior-level guys from the junior-level guys .. especially since the need for senior-level might be in architecture, not in execution, or in test coverage, not in ongoing maintenance, etc. Different strokes, and all that.
