I have a script (which I can't change) that has something like the following in it

echo "echo to file" >> /home/bob/bob.txt

/home/bob has 777 permissions set, so if I'm logged in as paul I can cd to /home/bob and successfully "touch bob.txt" (snigger), I can't however do the above. Why? Remembering I can't change the script
