"(Has been acknowledged)" message won't go away

[Dan Clark]

it doesn't appear that NAGIOS remove the acknowledgements, however these are
rather handy when the boss asks what outages we had the previous month and
what they were for, we just look at all hosts with acknowledgements on them
and get timestamps off them and explainations
