If you say they didn't hear about it from you? They can figure it out any which way. You simply issued a statement that you neither confirm nor deny you have been served. If you put an ad in the newspaper every day and then do not do it when subpoenaed, you are at fault for not putting the ad?

There are at least two questions to consider. (1) Is your argument reasonable? (2) Is your argument legally compelling? It is important not to conflate these two questions.

Oh, if they don't know how anyone found out then that's another issue.. but if tehy are made aware that you placed this ad daily and stopped after you were ordered to not reveal that you had been subpoenad.. your intent is very clear cut as far as a judge is concerned.
