I think this would be a very good idea, particularly since grabbing a spot 
takes you straight to the RST Sent field, and the clock just keeps ticking 
until you notice it.  But wouldn't it make better sense to have it be some 
different color BEFORE you stop it, rather than after?  I like to be 
reminded when I haven't done something I should.

I suppose you can get into the habit of always clicking the time field and 
then back to RSTS when someone answers your call, but it would be nice to 
be reminded, and even nicer to have an alt-Fx combination you could click 
to freeze the clock without having to tab or click back and forth.

Maybe I'm missing something that's already there, in which case I'm sure 
somebody will enlighten us both.
