Guys - thanks a lot for the responses. Very clear and enlightening! I
think I can modify my thinking as suggested so that this does not
happen to me again!

My original point still stands though that it would make good sense to
prompt an overwrite with the tar command - most user friendly tools
will prompt on an overwrite (unless a 'force' is used).
