subscribed, would get a message to subscribe. If it's too difficult to
decide "automagically" if the message came from a human or not, just
send it to all.

Cutting the space budget really restores my faith in humanity.  It
eliminates dreams, goals, and ideals and lets us get straight to the
business of hate, debauchery, and self-annihilation.
