Effective Way To Disable Warnings / Hints By Unit?

I've tried this:
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i unit
blcksock;{$warnings off}{$hints off}{$notes off}

document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i unit
blcksock;{$warnings off}{$hints off}{$notes off}....... end;{$warnings
on}{$hints on}{$notes on}end.

I've tried disabling hints / warnings under Project-Project Options-
Messages then enabling them in my units by

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i unit
StatsMath;{$warnings on}{$hints on}{$notes on}......end;{$warnings
off}{$hints off}{$notes off}end. 
Which doesn't help at all - they all stay disabled. I get varying
degrees of success with the other approaches. One unit which
absolutely refuses to cooperate is "blcksock" - a part of the Ararat
Synapse library. So basically I want all the warnings / hints for code
that is not mine to be disabled. What's the best way to do this?

Problem solved. I'm solving all my own problems. That's the way you
guys like it. Better to let him figure out how to fish than to just
give him a fish. Cuz he'll just hungry again and pester us some more.
OK - so I was inviting in all these dozens and dozens of warning and
hints which had nothing to do with my own code.

The reason that they were appearing is that in my project inspector I
had explicit include paths to files which were inside packages.
Instead of just making the package a "Required Package".

Now I've gotten rid of all my cherry-picked explicit paths to
individual .pas files and have simply made the packages that they
belong to "Required". This shut down all the warnings and hints from
code that is not mine. I like it - now I can attack my own foibles and
not be distracted by everything else in the ecosphere.

Then you just compile FPC and Lazarus with warnings off etc. Either
through the Lazarus IDE or through the FPC command line parameters.
That's also the official way to achieve that. E.g. make clean all
install OPT='-vw-'. The compiler itself is compiled with -Sew so is
unlikely to throw warnings

I like warnings - the compiler is my friend. I just don't want to be
warned about unused variables in obscure files deep inside third party
packages. That ship has sailed.
