hi all!

i'm currently working on cleaning up network2/subs.cpp
handle_sub_add_drop_resp() with a lot of heavy lifting by Rushfan.

i'm uncovering bugs there and we've fixed quite a lot.

i'm doing this in preparation for more work on network2/subs.cpp
handle_sub_add_req(), which is where i intend to try adding some of AutoSend
functionality.

i've actually done some testing on Aliens and Aladdin's Lamp for one of the
most requested functions of AutoSend, which is sending XX posts from the sub to
new subscribers.

here's a diff that you can try if you want to test it yourself.

let me know how it goes for you.
