I just tried to subscribe you and DEARN says FINHUTC. Maybe you tried it just
when new tables were being shipped out.

Agreed.

I don't know why Thomas has set a service area on a peered list which is
incompatible with the rest of the peers. I've fixed that (ie no service area).
This is also why your subscribe request was not directly forwarded to DB0.

Why do you mean 'directly'? :-) In which sense BITNIC is more "direct" than
DEARN for a list for which it has no peers? :-)

Complain to Thomas for putting service areas in his lists without asking
the other peer owners. :-) That explains all the chaos.
