I'm all for cool monitoring features but I'd really love people to have 
a chance to behave well *before* they get 100 e-mails by all those 
people monitoring something. I really think that having an advance 
warning would contribute to overall mapper happiness. A personal, 
individual message from mapper A to mapper B about A's supposedly bad 
edit is much worse karma than some note on an object saying "if you 
modify this, you'd better know what you're doing".

Maybe a super-cool editor could tap into the monitoring system and tell 
people "the feature you are editing is being monitored by 1,234 people" ;-)

Bye
Frederik
