I often wondered about the wisdom of that feature.  I had it on when it 
was first introduced, and found that I was accumulating a list of 
articles in which I had made only minor spelling corrections.  If a 
person really wants to watch an article they should need to make the 
positive effort of activating it.  

I d like the feature that shows how many articles are on the list.  My 
list currently has a humble 116 articles, but I do make a point of 
weeding out articles that I no longer want to watch.
