Hi Sean,

From my experience in writing many Forms 3.0 forms there is no way to do this.

The reasoning is that, Forms presumes that your user needs to read the message otherwise you wouldn't have specified that message.

If the user is annoyed, it is obvious that the message is not of great importance, may be the unecesary message should be removed from the form.

Have fun with your annoyed user.
