This is the kind of information it is useful to have -- how people make 
use of the feelings.  Danger gauging is different to level s***ming, 
something I want to discourage.  It might be possible to design a kind 
of level feeling that gives the benefits but removes the s***mability. 
(Probably not likely, but maybe possible. :)

I would not allow customisation of level feelings-- the thought makes me 
cringe. :)
