"Think before you type..." :-)
You would always behave as in the first ... potentially producing "-n
Starting....", the last echo would only come into play if echo as such
borked out... And then that would likely not be your primary
problem:-D... You'd probably have far more basic things breaking right
left and center then. So it'd basically be useless anyway;).
