All,

I sometimes like to compute with dates in tables.= =C2=A0 As it now stands,
org inserts computed dates in tables as active ti= mestamps. =C2=A0
This makes no sense to me since, if its in a table, one p= robably wants to
treat the date just as a piece of data, not something to = show up
in the agenda.

For example:

|= Name =C2=A0| Now =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 = =C2=A0 =C2=A0|
|-------+------------------------|
| Bill =C2=A0| <2= 017-01-16 Mon 08:17> |
| Sally | <2017-01-16 Mon 08:17> |=
| Ed= dy =C2=A0| <2017-01-16 Mon 08:17> |
#+TBLFM: $2=3Dnow()
Now I have three items show up in the agenda.=C2=A0 Shouldn't these = get
inserted as inactive timestamps?
