Ask, and you shall receive.  :).

You can disable log touching feature by setting TOUCH_LOG_INTERVAL in 
your condor_config file(s) to specify the number of seconds between each 
touch, and then doing a condor_reconfig.  By default this parameter is 
60 seconds.

So to disable try something like
  TOUCH_LOG_INTERVAL = 999999
