As the originator of this mess ...
The problem with "touch filename" is that the file isn't gauranteed
to be empty.
The solution I like best came from Peter Honeyman,
alias \> tee \!* \</dev/null
(I think that's how it went. It was that general idea anyway)
Now, don't y'all think this has gone on far enough? We've had I don't
know how many postings to the net about this, not to mention hundreds
of personal responses. All for a simple joke? Not even for one with
lots of content.
