Paul's solution is much appreciated. I will give it a try with the next
batch of deletions. I rarely have more than 1,000 subscriptions to delete at
a time and I do have the HPO option licensed, so it shouldn't be a problem,
but if it is, I will modify my perl script to send out batches of 500 at a
time.

Thanks Paul and Kevin.
