We should not patronise the users too much.

Personally I only check a "don't show this message again"-box if I'm 
100% sure I understood the message and I really, really don't want it to 
show up again. Extra care is taken if the text is long (as in this case) 
and it shows at a critical moment (upload).

But if others share Frederik's view, I'm happy to remove it again.
