He said "What do I have to do to turn message _logging_ off?"
(emphasis added).  He didn't say he wanted to turn the _messages_
themselves off.  If he wanted the latter, then indeed my suggestion
will not help, but in that case, fsetting `message' itself, or
defadvising it, is probably the way to go.
