You committed a bug so I asked you to fix it, just like when Denis broke
the build you asked him to fix it.

However, that was the ONLY thing I actually expected you to do. The
debugging suggestions were posted for whomever happened to have time to
investigate the bug, not for you personally. I apologize for my part in
the Swiss cheese of that miscommunication (whatever it was; I don't see it).

I don't know whence you got the notion that you're entitled to commit
bugs and expect me to fix them. You might as well commit patches
without log messages and then blame me for not writing them for you.

I won't dignify this petulant threat with a response. Feel free to
rephrase yourself. (And lest you mistake the previous sentence for
another "direct order", allow me to clarify that it isn't. It's an
invitation which you may accept or decline at your leisure and
discretion.)

P.S. I may not be able to respond in a timely manner for the next few days.
