There are people who can perform the variety of tasks indicated.
And they are in their twenties,  I have met some.  One is named Bill
Goodrich, who unfortunately was a fish that got away.  He did not
do everything perfectly and he corrected mistakes amazing fast.

Communicating effectively has nothing to do with the number of
typos, mis-spellings and syntactical errors.  The important thing is
the content and how it is presented.

Vitaliy,
It's one guy running a small business as you infer, and it such a
situation the second employee is certainly going to do everything the
first (only) employee does. If you had your own business bringing in a
few hundred thousand in profit, could you afford to hire someone to
clean the bathroom? Maybe if you're in the southern US, but that's a
different story altogether.
As far as his comments about Microsoft products, I think it's at least
refreshing to see a job ad that doesn't throw out a lot of BS and 100
three letter acronyms.
I thought a job like this would be extremely good experience for the
person who eventually wants to run their own business.
