- If you ask me, the real problem is with Master Bell himself. Why he didn't
- make 254 subs standard is way beyond me. I'm only in one (relatively small)
- net right now, and I had to be selective to keep it under 64 subs.
-
- The key to a board is its local subs; I have 20 of them. How am I supposed to
- select 44 subs from two nets? There are 4 mandatory subs I must carry, leaving
- 40. Hardly enough.
