That's pretty useless (IMO). Of course, the dialog would have to have a 
"Don't annoy me again with this stupid question." check box. But this 
means that the user will check this box as soon as he has been annoyed 
too often by the question. And then he won't be asked when it's really 
necessary (which actually never should be the case; George's problem 
seems to be caused by a bug which has to be fixed or which is already 
fixed).

Ingo
