I agree 100%.  Removing the event from the calendar would definitely be
the wrong behavior.

The most reasonable solution to this problem I can think of is the one
I've been arguing for: i.e. add a global preference that tells evolution
not to display any event reminders.  I think I (and others) have made
that point plenty of times, so I'll quit arguing for it now, and just
leave it up to y'all what the best thing to do is.

/me puts down his stick, and slowly backs away from the dead horse... :)

Cheers!
