I dont think I like this idea.

Anyone that wants to watch tickets can email me and I will set them up a
DCL account and they can put watches on what they like.  SOON, DCL will
notify the 'contact' of a ticket on all work done for their item. 
Regardless if they are a DCL user.

Hmmmm.  I am not sure this is a huge plus.  The tickets should be
readily searchable already with the guest account.

I dont think setup time is a big deal, I just am not sure its a good
idea.

If others think this is a good idea we can certainly do it.  I am not
sold 100%, but if others find it useful, I cant say I think its
damaging.
