You are correct the subpoena only asked for posts of altoid (as well as the herion store thread).
It is interesting they asked for things that were publicly available, especially considering that for much of when the thread was being discussed the forum was not keeping records of deleted posts, so mostly speaking what the public could see is what they got

They were hoping there may be a backup of the missing post. I'm also surprised they focused so much on bitcointalk, there was a much more direct connection to Ross with the post he made on shroomery:
If anything the shroomery posts hold more weight as he had to verify ownership of the email address.
