Yeah, but watch this:

==============================================================
announce=# create table test (x timestamp without time zone);
CREATE
announce=# \d test
                   Table "test"
  Attribute |           Type           | Modifier
-----------+--------------------------+----------
  x         | timestamp with time zone |

==============================================================

I don't seem to be able to get rid of the time zone any of the
ways I've tried.
