Don't take the blame for this!  The fact that you responded quickly
does not give the committer license to break the three-day rule.
Common sense still applies...  You re@ guys have work to do, you can't
be expected to examine every MFC request in excruciating detail.  You
should be able to trust the requesting committer to do the right
thing.
