What do other participants think about having email alerts when a probe goes offline or online?

Doing this monitoring-style is not a job for the NCC, IMHO, as this certainly involves way more work that one might think at first. This is a case for your local monitoring solution, which does that job much better. That being said, it might make sense to e-mail hosts if a probe has been down for a *long* time (something like "one e-mail per week of downtime"), just to catch dead hosts and unnoticed configuration fails. - D.
