yes, though it was good thinking of that same smarter (than me) friend!

yes, i have "Lock Screen Notifications" toggled off. (see first attached screen shot.) that choice seems to be a total waste of time for me. in addition to the unwanted personal agenda/calendar information displayed on my lock screeen, i also get unwanted visual notifications of new email messages. (see second attached screen shot.)

i read for a living pretty much all day. it is frustrating (to say the least) tha in order to display my chosen Lock Screen Message (for a finder at airport or anywhere else), i have to dial down my font low enough to make my eyes even more tired so blackberry's programmers can display my private information over my wishes and choices

man, i don't feel like digging more to restore even MINIMAL functionality to my "choice" to toggle "Lock Screen Notifications" off... any clear-eyed suggestions appreciated! and thx
