Dates in agenda

[Richard G Riley]

Is it possible to turn off dates being shown for repeated tasks in the
agenda?

e.g I do not want to see the original creation date here on the pub quiz
entry:

,----
| Tuesday    1 April 2008
|   Shamrock:   21:30...... Pub Quiz <2008-03-25 +1w>
|   Diary:      April Fools' Day
`----

Also, lets say I have an item with some notes e.g

,----

|    SCHEDULED: <2008-03-17 Mon 14:00>
|    <2008-03-17 Mon 14:00> Dont forget to remove debug code
|        removed all message() calls.
`----

I want to add a note without changing TODO state. Is the quickest way
just to move to the end hit "C-c ." then move to next line and type or
is there some sort of "add note" function?

Currently I insert the timestamp manually with "C-c ." hit return and
then TAB to the first column to align with the note aboves timestamp. It would be
nice if hitting return automatically did move to the typing column - is
there some more generic emacs way or org way to turn this on?

Yes, put the time stamp on a line by itself.

That is currently the fastes way, I suppose we could have a special  
command for adding a note independent of any state changes.  Its is on  
my list now.
