No, the "expected result" of submitting "that command" to a node
already participating in a subscription is for the subscription
provider to be revised.

Thus, you might start with...

    A ---> B ----> C

And revise it to...

    A ---> B
      \
       \
        \> C

If you request a 'path' that is already in effect, it'll turn out as a
NOOP.

What you could do to accomplish what I think you want to do is to
submit "*UN*S*U*B****** SET."
