This question has been asked at least 4 times since I've been
following this list, including once by me.

Appaarently, nobody seems to have an answer. The docs imply that type
timstamp is without timezone, since there is a type "timestamp with
timezone". If you do a "\d tablename" in psql, it shows "timestamp
with timezone" on all your fields you declare as timestamp. This
leads me to believe that they are silently "upgraded" in their type.

I have a subroutine in my apps that strips the timezone before passing
it along to the users.
