DFHack does have a command that will stop them i you really want them to stay and don't mind cheating a little bit. Basically you just mark your site as a megabeast lair and then things won't be scattered when you reclaim.

This has twice led to melancholy. My record keeper isn't worth the booze I feed her, so I've no clue if I have any clothing, but I should have thought I'd have enough clothes for them, as I have a regular turnover of goblinite. Uh, is this a bug or am I just terrible at providing enough clothes for my fort?

Are you playing 34.11 or an older version? At www.bay12games.com/dwarves the last post before version 34.11 includes "handled child clothing thoughts, hopefully for real this time". Children getting bad thoughts from lack of clothes is a bug, childhood should be a transitional state, where they don't mind being naked, but will claim clothes so they wouldn't tantrum immediately upon becoming adults.
Easiest way to see if you have spare (nudity-thought-removing) clothes is to have 3 stockpiles that only take shirts, shoes and trouser each, and only take from links (which are to your clothier's/leatherworker's workshops). Then you can see at a glance how many (fortress-made) clothes you have in stock. You could have less restrictive settings if you also wanted to include goblinite, but then you'd have trouble keeping the worn clothes out of the stockpiles.
Elvin:
I'm up to a population of 130 dwarves now, about 3 years in, and have yet to be sieged. When I check the civilization screen, I see that both kobolds and goblins have a "P" next to them, yet I have seen both thieves and snatchers ( I might have lost a baby or two...)
Will I get sieged if I just keep waiting, or do I need to go piss off some humans/elves?
Thanks!
Telgin:
I'm pretty sure if you get goblin thieves you'll get sieges if you have enough dwarves and wealth.
Kobolds are skulking I believe, which means they will only send ambushes or sieges if they steal enough crap.

Keep in mind that fortress wealth affects both siege frequency, size and strength (I think all 3, but at least some of them). So make some really expensive artifacts, or smooth the whole place, then engrave with legendary engravers, etc.
