I'd be against having a detailed message with the cut-and-paste ready command to decline the message, as the messages would become long and annoying, so people would disable it too early. But having a short mention like "(to squelch this message, set advice.bla)", short enough not to be disturbing, and vague enough to force people to read the docs. -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/
