I think she could... but most likely won't.  I'm sure there's a good explanantion
why a five, ten, or even fifteen minute task can take 20 hours, plus two hours a
day "maintenance"... but I can't think of one.  I use a majordomo mailing list on
one of our sites and it took me all of three minutes to set it up.  As for
maintenance, well, I think we all know the score...

Perhaps the inflated time figures Elizabeth quoted have something to do with the
fact that water takes longer to boil in high altitudes than it does at sea level?

Sincerely,
