For your information, my present conditions of employment make it impossible for me to undertake such major developments as Ross and Michael are suggesting. This is not meant as a flame, just a statement that I'm supposed to spend 0% of my time on LISTSERV, and that my managers have committed between 300 and 350% of my time to various projects which all have to be ready by the end of this month. It was no problem until the various people in question started claiming their share of my time (I don't work 350% of course, but it's a pain to have people perpetually asking you when you'll have done this thing they were promised, and it makes it more difficult to work on "other" things).
