Hi Alan,

you can add the following line:
#+OPTIONS: f:nil

at the start of your Org file to disable footnotes entirely. For more
information, see "12.3 Export Options" in the manual.

You could also insert the unicode character "zero width space" after the
opening bracket like this:

M-x ucs-insert 200B <RET>

That is a handy trick I got from reading this very list some time ago
(sorry, I don't remember who had posted that), although I imagine that
gets tedious after a while.

I do not know if it is possible to disable plain footnotes while still
using the [fn:1] syntax.

HTH, Jan
