BTW, in this particular case a list-owner can change a
Subscriber's name field w/o doing a DEL followed by an ADD
(which is what the owner does if they manually process a
change of subscriber address).
 
QUIET ADD listname userid@node canonical_firstname canonical_lastname
 
BTW, the userid portion must match letter-for-letter/
case-for-case with the original subcriber, otherwise instead
of the ADD acting like a CHANGE, it will _add_ a second
subscription.
