Three days is not enough.  It took God six days.
 
Say you post something on Friday, May 26th, at 5 PM,
and one of the subscribers has a machine which goes "down" at about that time,
and the system-manager for that machine has left the office, for the weekend.
 
After 24 hours, e.g., Saturday, May 27th, at 5 PM,
the system is still down -- the system-manager doesn't work Saturday.
 
After 48 hours, e.g., Sunday, May 28th, at 5 PM,
the system is still down -- the system-manager doesn't work Sunday.
 
After 72 hours, e.g., Monday, May 28th, at 5 PM,
the system is still down -- the system-manager is observing the Memorial Day
holiday in the USA.
 
After 88 hours, e.g., Tuesday, May 29th, at 9 AM,
the system-manager reports to work, and fixes the problem.
