If you follow the web site instructions you will be logged in with 
your own password in 2 or 3 minutes and if your browser save your 
pasaword an login id with a cookie you will never have to log in 
again on that machine at least.

I would send the text to the list if susan harris gave me permission 
but i am not expecting her  to do so because as I understand it that 
would be pushing list policy beyond the limits.

the story author  really did manage to capture the essential 
importance of what Tsering Gyaltsen Sherpa for the sherpas of the 
khumbu is doing which is something far different and more important 
than just a cyber cafe at base camp.
