Remove author & date from LibreOffice Calc annotations

I know this has been discussed here before, but I haven’t been able to remove the redundant author & date from annotations in LibreOffice Calc 24.8.5.2:

Strangely, if I show the annotations through a macro then author and date does not appear:

I’ve spent hours on this and am more than a little bit frustrated - I have to admit I completely fail to see the logic behind the introduction of this feature, and the fact I have no control over it seems contrary to the aims of the Document Foundation. Even using a macro to try to clear the invalid data fails:

Hey, this is my bloody spreadsheet, who are you to tell me anything about it is “read-only”!? If I wanted the software I’m using to make arrogant assumptions about what I’m trying to do I’d still be running Windows!

And no, I’m not talking about “hiding” the data, I’m talking about not wanting it to be there at all. I will be sharing this spreadsheet with others eventually and I want it to be sleek and professional. Please?

Then trim it as you like.

Did you ever consider to contribute something to a community site?
At least you succeeded to waste a large area without usable/relevant information, and to cause a lot of unnessecary trafic. .

That’s what I’m trying to do. I know I’m not the only one who’s annoyed by this change, and there is a bug report which claims the options I have enabled should fix it from 24.8 onwards (hence the screenshots, to show what I’ve got, and what I’ve done, and what actually happens).
