Every time I see the "Have you considered accepting an answer or starting a bounty for this question?" message it makes me feel guilty, which I don't think I am for simply asking an open-ended question. I want a button like "Yeah, shut up already!" or something...

5It goes away in time. And if you have a good reason for not accepting any of the existing answer and don't feel a pressing need to get a better one, then don't worry about it.– dmckee --- ex-moderator kittenMay 21, 2010 at 11:32

14Have you considered accepting an answer or starting a bounty for this question?– Daniel DaranasMay 21, 2010 at 11:56

While you’re right about some questions, you could accept answers on some other questions, e.g. on Python: sort a part of a list, in place.

1I could if there were one. So far, there is no single answer on how do do that, and no definite "that's impossible" one, either.– HeadcrabMay 21, 2010 at 12:39
I'd like the ability to dismiss this message, like you can with the notification bar that appears on the top of the page.
