I won't post my response because it contains deleted posts which should remain private if at all possible. Probably my response will end up as part of public record, but I'm not going to speed up the process or make it easier for people to find. I already PMed the users affected by this.

Maybe this is the first time Theymos experienced a formal subpoena, but I have trouble believing that this is the first time he experienced a law enforcement inquiry.

This is the first government request/inquiry I've received related to Ulbricht's case. I have received a few other inquiries for other cases.

Does this mean that you'll need to be present (or at least, a representative) at NYC that time?

AFAIK only if the plaintiffs want to use his testimony and so has to be available for questions. Alternatively can do it pre-trial and prerecorded.

The subpoena says that a personal appearance is necessary.

I am certain that he would not be able to per-record his testimony as this would deprive Ross his right to face his accusers and to question theymos if he wanted to do so. In theory it could be done via skype or via some other video conferencing software, however this is generally rare.
