Part of the problem with this scenario is that we do a poor job of  
representing that multi-day events are the same event; it's very easy  
for someone who's just created a 26 hour event to think that they have  
a copy of their event instead, and delete the "second one"; now  
they've deleted the original, and don't know what happened. I'll open  
another ticket for making it clearer when events are the same on the  
calendar view.

It occurs to me, though, that this confusion would be entirely  
eliminated if we got rid of End Time in the form, and just had  
Duration. I think that would be simpler for all single-day events, and  
multi-day events are doable - and they are far from the norm.

As it is now, looking at the event edit form, there is a lot of  
complication; just now it struck me that the radio buttons aren't  
grouped at all, so End, Duration, and Alarm seem to be on the same  
level. Getting rid of End Date would help with that.
