Writing realistic tech job descriptions

There are more than a few jobs that look not only appealing, but for which I would have applied for if it weren't for the long list of 'qualifications'. It long ago occured to me that companies/managers have high—and possibly unreasonably so—requirements so that they can filter for only the most determined applicants, i.e. the ones who say (more eloquently that this) 'well, I don't have x, y, anx z, but I'm very proficient at x and y and can learn z quickly.'
