If if you go with that, don't ever forget the second '>'! I know I have :)

I've got `set -o noclobber` in my .bashrc, so this doesn't bite me:

  /tmp $ echo foo > test
  /tmp $ echo bar > test
  -bash: test: cannot overwrite existing file

echo "don't ever forget the second >" >>.notes

You'll remember it better if you do:

echo "don't ever forget the second >" > .notes

(Don't Do it...)
