This is true, however it would cause email alerts to go out to all the
contacts and I'd have to then ask each person if they received one (I
can't just stop the email delivery as other things are going on).  Also,
notification rules change over time periods - I might want to know what
would happen out of hours without having to wait until after 6pm.  What
I really need is something to read the config files, untangle them, and
then give a response based on options passed.
