One thing I've learned from decades of using UNIX is that prior 
experience is never a guide to how to use a new command.

I could understand that resulting in -ltestsub or -l<testsub>. Since 
clear understanding of exactly what was posted is essential in cases 
like this, it would be a good idea to find a way to display posts that 
doesn't make 'l' and 'I' look the same.
