   1. I alias rm to "rm -i" so that mass deletions don't happen
   2. when I want to clear a lot of files all at once I just
      use /bin/rm instead of rm, so the alias doesn't get in the way

You must like to type. Try "\rm" instead. Aliases are not expanded
when any of the characters are quoted.
