Title would be better as "Exit Node" and based on what I know, this isn't altogether uncommon. A relay-only node receiving a subpoena would be novel as far as I know.
Yes exactly, I was alarmed by the HN title, but then the link content was pretty usual. Tor is not broken, fiew :).
That said I'm pretty curious to see the answer of the administration to the answer of the exit node admin explaining what is Tor and why he can't help them.
EDIT: Title was changed, thanks!
