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.
